If convictions are spent do they show up on a CRB check

[smileymikey]

I've been offered a promotion at work, and I'm really pleased. The only fly in the ointment is the fact that I now need to be CRB checked due to the nature of our work (government/security agencies, not children) I was a little st in my late teens and had a number of run ins with the police resulting in two short Youth Custody sentences for non violent offences.The last offence was over thirty years ago. I'm aware they are well spent under the rehabilitation of offenders act. However will they show on the report to my employer? it is the Scottish CRB they are using?

Read this: http://www.gov.scot/Topics/archive/law-order/law/R...
and the link contained in it which gives a long list of excepted professions, employments etc: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2013/50/schedule...

Thanks for that its appreciated, I dont seem to be affected by any of the exclusions. Is it safe to assume my convictions wont be shown? They have already cleared me to work to work with young offenders and were fine to foster children. I just don't want to be embarrassed by ancient history

I had an enhanced DBS and like the OP had been in trouble about 25 years ago.

Didn't show up on the DBS even though I had raised it with the organisation.

Honesty pays though.

I appreciate everyone's advice. Thank you. I think I am going to have a quiet word with my boss and gauge it from there. On the plus side I have four years of good track record behind me, with the company.

Well then they have opted out of a position of trust on the basis of their current deceptive behaviour.

This is the greater issue rather than aged cautions, but unfortunately no matter how many times it's mentioned and discussed there are some people who are willfully blind to this point.

He was 18 at the time not in mid 30's and is an accountant wouldnt have a problem trusting him just some silly petty stuff from when he was a lad. He doesnt want the school to see this as his kids go there. Not deceptive no one wants there teenage dirty laundry aired at their kids school.

I can understand this totally. I avoided becoming involved at my daughters village school for this reason, the staff at the school were our friends and neighbours and it would have been naive to expect my past to have remained private.
