Please note that there is a separate addendum to the Background Screening Form, due to new legislation in the UK, which reads:
"You should ignore the question:
Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence?
and instead, treat this question as
Do you have any unspent convictions/cautions/reprimands/warnings?"
This addendum was only sent with the document pack after I had already had to twice fill out the form - without the addendum - both at the interview, and as part of my acceptance email.
The BI agency confirmed that they only do a UK Basic Criminal Records Check (standard DBS criminal record check, previously known as a CRB check) which only discloses unspent convictions - see www.gov.uk/dbs for more information.
I hope that this information helps someone.
