		The rehabilitation period is simply the waiting period that a person must wait before an application can be made for the expungement of a conviction.
		The Rehabilitation period is calculated from the date of the expiration of the term of imprisonment in the case of custodial sentences, and in other cases, upon the satisfaction of the court’s sentence.
		In the second phase, the conviction is expunged or removed from the record, after the lapse of a further Rehabilitation period of equal duration to the first Rehabilitation period and the satisfaction of the essential conditions.

		It is fundamentally important that the distinction between the purpose of the act and the constraints imposed upon it be thoroughly understood.
		Thus, the purpose of an ROA should be: “to enable people, who have offended, suffered the appropriate penalty and reformed, to be legally entitled to rehabilitation, by concealing their official records”.

		The NAYJ is, however, concerned that the same provisions apply where the offender is also under the age of 18 years, including cases where he or she might indeed be younger than the victim.
		The NAYJ therefore believes that arrangements governing the rehabilitation of children should acknowledge that the risk of reoffending is likely to decline at a faster rate than that associated with adult offenders who commit similar offences.
		Moreover, shorter rehabilitation periods would be adequate to protect the public given that a comparatively brief offence free period is a better indicator of risk reduction in the case of a child than in the case of an adult.

		These included replacing rehabilitation periods with shorter disclosure periods and reviewing the rule that convictions involving sentences of over two and a half years are never spent.

	Criminal Records Bureau - What is the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974?
		The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974 applies to England, Scotland and Wales, and is aimed at helping people who have been convicted of a criminal offence and who have not re-offended since.
		Anyone who has been convicted of a criminal offence, and received a sentence of not more than 2.5 years in prison, benefits as a result of the Act, if he or she is not convicted again during a specified period otherwise known as the 'rehabilitation period’.
		For example, if a person receives a sentence of imprisonment or detention in a young offenders institute of between 6 months and 2.5 years, the rehabilitation period is 10 years, or 5 years if the individual was under 18 at the time of conviction.

	CarLaw on CarNet.co.uk, the motoring portal - The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974
		So, for example, if a motorist is fined for drink driving and has his or her licence endorsed, the rehabilitation period would be five years (the length applicable to the fine) rather than 11 years (the length of time before a driver convicted of drink driving is entitled to a clean driving licence).
		If a rehabilitation period is still running and the person concerned commits a minor offence (a 'summary' offence that can only be tried in a magistrates' court), the minor offence will not affect the rehabilitation period still running.
		The Act does not provide any means of enforcing a person's right not to be refused employment (or entry into a profession) on the grounds of a spent conviction.

		The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, 1974, has the effect of removing from a convicted persons criminal record, certain offences after a stipulated period of time has passed.
