I am not a hardened criminal like you but I don't think it counts before you are 18 years old. How old are you now? They only want the last 10 years police check. As my husband says, 200 hundred years ago it would have been a REQUIREMENT to get out there!!
Good luck. Keep us posted.

Your convictions will be spent now and will no longer appear on your PCC. If you are unsure, get your PCC's done and fill in the forms accordingly, that way you can frontload them as well. They seems to be coming back in about 14 days at the moment. If you have no further issues since then they won't hold it against you.
Edit: Woops just read your thread again and see that you have already sent your application, the offence is spent and won't be a problem.
Mello, you are on the way..........

Whether or not it is "spent" is irrelevant as all offences are disclosed on Subject Access checks, regardless of whether they are spent for other purposes. Also it is not just the last 10 years that are checked, the police will reveal all offences that are on record, their age doesn't matter.
