You have to declare any convictions on a CRB application, even those regarded as spent. Sentences of five years or more never become spent. I've worked in social care for more than 20years and have had colleagues with criminal convictions.
Don't let it put you off. I have a friend who was convicted of assault as a 17 year old. He has been a very good social worker for many years.

The potential employer has a legal responsibility to do a CRB check on anyone wishing to enter employment working with vulnerable and at risk groups.
Depending what your conviction was for will depend whether it will disallow you entry into the caring profession.
I once had someone ask me if they could work in a residential home...they had committed an offence 15 years earlier when they were 17...what she then went onto tell me when I asked her what the conviction was for....arson...of a childrens home....answered her own question there!!!...Kids move a damn sight faster than the elderly, and her with a box of matches or a lighter was a scary prospect!!

Hello there... you will always have your CRO (criminal records office) number, as mentioned above, and if asked, you must declare it. The application form should tell you what you need to disclose and what you can't leave out. Normally things like the CRB checks will not allow you to leave anything out. BUT, it doesn't mean you'll be discounted straight away. They will take into account the offences, and that it happened 20 years ago, and will hopefully make the right decision on the information presented to them. Good luck.

Go on the net under criminal records & laws under the city & state that yur in.There shuld b a couple sites there that can help u w/that.But,it'll all boil dn 2 what u were convicted of.But,if yur now living in another state,alot of employers only do a state check.U'd b safe.Also,I think that alot of places only go bk like 5-10 yrs or so.I really think that since it was 20yrs ago,u won't have 2 much of a problem.

Depends on the offence. It may have expired or if was serious it may still apply. The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act gives guidance on spent convictions and disclosure of spent conviction is covered by the Data Protection Act.

If you were fingerprinted and photographed at the time you will have a CRO number which stays with you until you die.
If you committed an offence which wasn't recordable (as above you) you won't need to worry about it and even if you do have a CRO number it will depend on what sort of offence you committed all those years ago.

i'm no longer efficient about the offender record yet i imagine when you're up the front with the persons there then it truly is going to be a difficulty until eventually it states you won't be able to be round children purely relies upon on what crimes you've on you solid success although wish you get one

it depends on what your crim record is for if its for shop lifting or something along them lines its gone after 5 years however if its more serious im afraid its there for life you wanna be a care worker then if you have a serious record you will not get the job its just the way society is even if you do have a serious record but you yourself know you have changed its on ya record and people are funny about crim records sorry butif its a serious record you prob wont get the job
