Current guidelines are that it stays on your "file" until you die (or reach the age of 100 if you are that lucky). It is stepped down after a clear period of 5 years, at which point it will not appear on a standard CRB check, but as it is still visible to the police it could emerge as the result of an enhanced disclosure to the CRB.
