Thanks to recent changes in procedure, DBS checks no longer routinely reveal details regarding offences where the applicant was found 'not guilty'.
However, in rare circumstances on an enhanced level DBS check the police can include details of any alleged offence if they reasonably believe that intelligence is relevant to the employer's recruitment decision. In these instances, the police must adhere to a guidance known as the 'Quality Assurance Framework' and the DBS applicant has the legal right to challenge any information shown on a DBS certificate before revealing anything to their employer.
That depends on what the conviction was for and what your previous criminal history is. If you have more than once conviction offence, all of your convictions will show up forever. If the conviction resulted in a custodial sentence (whether or not served) it will show up forever. If the conviction was for an offence on the 'DBS list of offences never to be filtered from a criminal record check' it will show up forever. If the conviction has for one offence and you have no other conviction offences, didn't get a custodial sentence and the offence is not on the above list, it will stop showing up after 11 years (or 5.5 if you were under 18 at the time of conviction).
A basic CRB check will show any unspent criminal convictions or conditional cautions. It does not show spent convictions, cautions, or other relevant information. The exact information revealed depends on the level of check.
Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Checks were replaced by Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Checks in 2012. Basic criminal record checks do not show cautions. Standard and Enhanced DBS checks show cautions that are not 'protected' under current legislation. A caution for an offence that is on the prescribed 'list of offences that will never be filtered from a DBS certificate' will always show on standard and enhanced DBS checks. A caution for an offence that is not on that list will become 'protected' once 6 years have passed (2 years if the person was under 18 at the time of caution). Once 'protected' it will no longer show up on a standard DBS check and will only show on an enhanced DBS check if the police believe it is relevant.
CRB checks were replaced by DBS checks in 2012. Thanks to legislation changes in May 2013, if you have an old and minor conviction offence it will no longer show up, but only if:The conviction offence is not on the DBS 'list of offences that will never be filtered from a DBS certificate', andIt has been 11+ years since the time of conviction (5.5+ if you were under 18 at the time), andYou do not have any other conviction offences, andthe conviction offence did not result in a custodial sentence (whether or not served).If the conviction resulted in a custodial sentence, it will show up forever.If you have more than one conviction offence, they will all show up forever.
If you have been arrested but not convicted, it may still show up on a background check, depending on the type of check being conducted. However, your arrest record alone should not be used against you in most cases, as you are innocent until proven guilty. It's recommended to seek legal advice if you have concerns about how an arrest may impact your background check results.
After such a long time, it will only show up if:the offence is on the prescribed 'list of offences that will never be filtered from a DBS certificate'or the police reasonably believe the offence is relevant

Yes a caution from the transport police will show up on a dbs check for 6 years (2 years if you were under 18 when cautioned). Once that time period has passed, it will only continue to show if one of the following is true:the offence is on the DBS 'List of offences that will never be filtered'orit is an enhanced DBS check and the police reasonably believe the caution is relevant to a recruitment decision.
Once 6 years have passed (or 2 if you were under 18 at time of caution), a caution will stop showing up on a DBS check unless the offence is on the 'DBS list of offences that will never be filtered from a criminal record check' (available on the DBS website).

A basic criminal record check shows information on the individual's unspent convictions (if they have any). The information shown will include the offence, the court and the date.
It depends what the original offence was. Most offences have a 'time limit' on a person's criminal record. For example - a friend of mine was arrested 13 years ago who is now 54. When they checked his history for previous convictions, it failed to show an arrest that happened when he was 19. ~ As stated above unless the CRB check is classified as an "enhanced CRB Check" - These are often used for sensitive work roles
Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks were replaced by Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks in 2012. The age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is 10, therefore any offence committed from the age of 10 and upwards may show on a DBS check depending on the level of check and the disposal.
