Question

Hi my hubby received a caution for possession of cannabis (1 spliff between 4) when he was 15 ( he's now 37), will this show on the criminal checks and should he declare it? It never went to court or anything.

No, It will not show on his criminal record as it was a caution and even if it did he would of
been clea slated because it is over 7 years,
