How do know if you've gotten a warning / caution?

[1901ght]

Aged 16 I got in trouble with the police over something relatively minor - I can't remember if I got a caution / warning though. I didn't receive any letter or anything it was just a conversation - would this count?

I don't really want to apply for a job saying no when it comes up on a CRB nor do I want to say yes and it isn't counted!

Point 1:
Young offenders can't be cautioned. They can only receive a reprimand or final warning.

Point 2:
The vast majority of employers have no access to CRB checks. They're only available when applying for particular types of employment, such as working with children or vulnerable adults.

Point 3:
Up until fairly recently, police forces would routinely delete reprimands and final warnings from their database after a few years. (Following a court ruling, they now longer do so). So any record of your brush with the law might already have been deleted.

Point 4:
Anyone can obtain a copy of their 'police record' by submitting a written application to their local police force (with proof of identity), together with a fee of £10. Google the name of your police force (e.g. 'Metropolitan Police, or 'Suffolk Police'), together with the words 'subject access' to find further information.
