Do Cautions stay on record for life?

Hi there,

Just a quickie if anyone knows, Does a caution stay on your record for life? I've been told its 5 yrs by 1 copper, then its life by another copper so.. :confused:

The caution was recieved aged 22 (3 years ago), I have recently been offered employment working at an Airport, Security screening Cargo. I am fairly confident I will pass the CRB check because I've been told cautions only show up on Enhanced CRB checks, But not sure if this is 100%

If anyone can clear this up for me i'd appreciate it.

Thanks

I hope it's not life haha. I got a caution for chopping some trees down when I was 15....

Also interested to know.

I'm confident they're all wiped when you turn 18, I had 2 cautions at ~18 and they were gone when I had a CRB at 19 to work in a similer position I've been offered now at the Airport.

airport security will definitely be an enhanced CRB and National Security Check (the big orange form)

Thanks, Would a caution prevent me from getting the job do you think? Caution was for possesion of canna.
