Just in case it is relevent, the offence in question was ABH/Common Assault.

If you only have this caution, and no other convictions, it will appear on your Police National Computer list of preconvictions for five years from the date of the offence. This means that if you are arrested in the future, the police, Crown Prosecution Service and possibly the National Probation Service will be able to look this information up.
However, in terms of employment and disclosure, you usually only have to declare actual *convictions* when requested to do so, and in most cases you don't even have to do this if the conviction is "spent". So if you're worried about who you would have to tell about the caution, the answer is no-one unless you choose to do so.

It is possible for the police to have and to retain records of a person who was cautioned, reprimanded or warned for an offence, even if no charges are brought. The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) does hold information about police cautions, reprimands, and warnings
As you can see, unless your criminal record check falls within the first category, your caution would show up even if it was 6 years ago. However, this does not necessarily mean that you would be refused a job on the basis of the caution. It would not mean that you were unfit for a particular job. The organisations which are entitled to make applications to the CRB for criminal record checks are also obliged to adhere to a Code of Practice to ensure that information released by the CRB is used sensibly and fairly.
The prospective employer should have a written policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders and will be expected to store certificates securely and dispose of them once used. They will also be expected to have proper procedures to ensure that the relevance of any conviction to the particular position is carefully assessed so that people are not unfairly excluded from employment opportunities.
If you think that your prospective employer might take into account your caution and think it is irrelevant to the job applied for, you can write to them explaining the circumstances of the caution and why you consider it irrelevant. If you are denied employment on the basis of the caution, you may be able to challenge the decision and should seek legal advice.

It stays forever I'm afraid, I had a minor incident recorded against me back in 1992, and when I needed a disclosure for my personal licence, which I applied for this year, there it was. However you will find that some incidents on your criminal record are regarded as "spent convictions" after a certain period of time, that depends on the severity and nature of the crime.

A caution stays on police record for five years,
but this is not a criminal record just a police record.

I don't think a CAUTION goes on anybodies record, but to be sure go to the crimminal records bureau (google) and ask the question on their web site, you will get a correct answer there
