<p>For standard criminal record checks and enhanced criminal record checks a conviction
incurred by a person under the age of 18 is disclosable for five and a half years
from the date of conviction. A caution, reprimand or warning incurred before the age
of 18 is disclosable for two years from the date it was issued.</p><p> </p><p>However,
certain specified offences or a conviction receiving a custodial sentence will always
be disclosed, and if someone has more than one conviction, then all their convictions
will be disclosed. This is the case regardless of whether the convictions were incurred
under the age of 18 or as an adult. The arrangements are set out in the Police Act
1997 as amended by the Police Act 1997 (Criminal Record Certificates: Relevant Matters)
(Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2013.</p><p> </p><p>A basic certificate will
disclose any unspent convictions and conditional cautions as provided for by the Rehabilitation
of Offenders Act 1974.</p>
