I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on this. I've name-changed as I'm quite recognisable in my normal name...
DP recently got an enhanced CRB check as he is going to be doing a volunteer role at the local sports club that involves working with kids. When it came through, it had a conviction listed. This relates to something he did as a teenager about 25 years ago (theft), which was resolved as a conditional discharge (12 months). At the time he was told (or at least this is how he remembers it) that once the 12 months was up and provided he didn't do anything else in that time, it would be scratched from his record and he would have no criminal record. So, has it only come up this time because it is an enhanced check, or would it come up on a normal check too? Is it right that it has? It won't affect this particular role, but he's really worried now that he should actually have been declaring it every time he appied for a job, which he hasn't done as he thought it was all over and done with.
Now, it could be that he was misinformed at the time, or that he misunderstood (not impossible, given he was only 18). What I am hoping anyone can advise on is whether he should have been declaring it on job applications, and if so what he should do about it now with his current job.
Thanks for any advice!

Conditional discharge from 25 years ago listed as conviction on Enhanced CRB check-is this normal?
