As others have already pointed out a caution is not a conviction in the same sense of going to court and pleading or being found guilty never the less a caution is or should only be given if an offence could normally be proved by the police and or the person accepting the caution admits their guilt. Most jobs involving children & young people, youth clubs, teachers etc require frank disclosure and are never spent, be very careful if you don't because it could then be alleged you are obtaining a pecuniary advantage ie. a wage, by deception and that is an offence under the Theft Act. You know what the caution was for and if it was part of growing up and some minor hic cup towards maturity confront it and most sensible people will accept it for what it was, you'll never have to keep wondering if your employer will find out.

The likelyhood of a Police caution appearing on your record now is minimal but not unknown.
If you contact the station that the caution was given, you may find a sympathetic officer who is willing to check the system to see if it is there.
To err on the safe side, I would declare the caution and attach an explanation as to why you got it to your application.
The fact you received a caution suggests a minor misdemeanour, when your potential employer receives their copy of a CRB check, you will receive your own too (or you should) which means of course that you will know exactly whats held about you.

What is a "police caution?" Is that a crime? Generally, you only have to report adjudicated crimes on any application for employment. Read the nursery school application carefully. What is the question they ask? Do they ask: Have you ever been convicted of a felony/misdemeanor? If this is the question, the answer is "NO," unless a "caution" = crime where you live. Sometimes however, the application asks: have you ever been "arrested" for any crime? To answer this question you need to recall if you were arrested and then ultimately "warned" or "cautioned," because arrests are public record and you must answer this question carefully and correctly. Good luck to you!

Answer each question honestly. Some applications may ask if you've committed a felony. If it's not a felony say no. Some apps will ask if you had a misdimeanor in the past 10 years, you would be able to answer no. As long as you answer the questions honestly, then if they pull a report on you, you can say that you only answered the questions they had. Then you can proceed to explain the situation of what happened, if you need to. If it's not a direct question on the app, you are fine not to disclose it. Any employer should be fine with that and if they want to know more about their applicants, they can change the questions on their application.

A caution is not a criminal record, also the school as a duty of care to check for themselves. I would answer that question at an interview unless it's on the application form, if you want the job be honest and you will be better thought of.

As a precaution I would declare it. It will show up on an Enhanced Criminal Record Check anyway. This vacancy will be exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. This is because you will have a close proximity to children and access to their personal details.
Hope this helps

Presumably your employer is going to do a CRB check.
You must disclose EVERYTHING. If you omit anything and the CRB then find it (which they will) the fact that you didn't tell them can be grounds for dismissal.
Unless the caution was for assault or something similar, it shouldn't make any difference to your job application..

It will not matter what checks an employer does as a caution will be wiped clean after five years.

No. It will have disappeared from your record a long time ago and even a CRB check wont have it.
