Dear Sarah,

Thanks for getting back to me, by caution I mean a 'police caution' given in place of a formal charge but involving an admission of guilt from the person in question in return for no further action, although the caution remains on their record.

I hope that helps, Let me know if you need more info.

Yours sincerely,

Andy Buckwell
