It's a first time offence and he was given a £80 penalty notice and cautioned.
Now he's looking for a new job.
Does he have to tell his new employer?

He's going to be asked, and if he says "not", he would be lying. Lying on an application would be grounds for dismissal. If he says yes, however, he's probably not going to be hired. Catch 22, but it's too late now, eh?

I am quoting directly from a website here:
"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. "
Under the law in the UK, as I understand it, you are obliged to give disclosure to any/all criminal offensives you have committed to not do so is grounds for dismissal.
Still, I think this website should be able to give you any more info you need.

A caution is a suitable caution it is given to an grownup who has admitted the offence. If the guy refuses the caution then they are going to often be prosecuted through the conventional channels for the offence. besides the undeniable fact that it is not technically classed as a conviction it might properly be considered through the Courts if the guy is convicted of a added offence. Cautions are not any further coated through the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 so will not in any respect grow to be spent. reckoning at this variety of offence they are 'stepped down' after a series era of time (5 or 10 years). This really signifies that they are going to in trouble-free terms be seen to police paintings force and not in any respect different businesses who do tests. The exception to it is that if someone is the problem of an more advantageous Disclosure and then if suitable it is going to likely be disclosed. Even after 5/ten years the caution can nonetheless be disclosed in case you practice for particular kinds of jobs, i.e. police, instructor, or jobs operating with children and susceptible adults. it is going to likely be disclosed no matter if it is suitable to the interest you're using for. desire that helps.

A caution and fixed penalty fine is an admission of guilt but not a conviction. Only a court can convict an offender of an offence. It depends on what type of offence he committed and what type of job he is applying for, such as working with vulnerable people or children. He should check the application form really carefully to see what level of disclosure is required. If he does not disclose something that he is required to disclose and the fact comes out after he as been employed, he can be sacked as this is gross misconduct. If the form only asks for convictions to be disclosed, he is not required to disclose an FPN (Fixed Penalty Notice).

As far as i was aware you only need to disclose it if you have been charged and sentenced. A caution is not a charge it is a warning.
I would say that unless this was a one off (i still dont condone it ) I would personally think long and hard about being a friend to this person.

If he wasn't charged with a crime then in effect it isn't a criminal record. However if he is applying for a position that is subject to a CRB check they can look at all the details on there inc a caution. If no CRB then no, he doesn't have to disclose.

Well, it might put a bad mark on his criminal record - especially if this is considered weak by criminal standards. If he wants a better criminal record he may have to step up to the plate and do something really really bad.

Yes. If he doesn't and is subsequently found out, any employer worth their salt will dismiss him.
