Ok Anna, now I understand.

When a person receives a formal police caution, the wording on the caution form will depend on the offence. Normally there are proforma templates, and the wording is a simplified version of how a charge sheet for that offence would read.

Thanks. However, I'm after simple caution which is an alternative to being charged (formal police warning recorded on their system).

Hello,
I urgently need the exact current wording of the simple caution used by the police in England and Wales. I will be extremely grateful for help.
Thanks
