Regarding spent convictions once they are spent they can’t be used by anybody or Company because The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 allows people to start with a clean slate, but there are exceptions to this general principle. For further information Link

Well the company I was going to work for didn't want to know when my records came back with an offence on it from the early 80's, that job didn't involve being with vunerable people, I stated the rehabilitation of offenders act, they said we don't work with that law if you've got a conviction then your excluded from the job application.
