I may be taking you too literally here, but the local Police won't be making any such call. There are various levels of disclosure, and the Police are restricted by what level is required, no more no less. One level will only include unspent convictions, but fuller disclosure would include spent ones, too. If chalice's ban is only a few years old, its not likely to be spent yet, mind.beano wrote:If so it will go to your local police and they will make a call on what is relevant.

Enhanced (£44)
This includes the same as the standard check plus any additional information held by local police that’s reasonably considered relevant to the workforce being applied for (adult, child or ‘other’ workforce). It takes about 4 weeks.
‘Other’ workforce means those who don’t work with children or adults specifically, but potentially both, eg taxi drivers. In this case, the police will only release information that’s relevant to the post being applied for.
What ‘local police information’ means
For the purposes of this page, local police information can include:
Fixed Penalty Notices (FPN’s)
Penalty Notices for Disorder (PND’s)
Findings of innocence
Aquittals
Cautions and convictions of those that you live with
Other Police intelligence (including allegations)
It does not include information held on the Police National Computer, including:
Cautions
Reprimands
Final warnings
Convictions
Cautions, reprimands and final warnings are not criminal convictions. However, in terms of disclosure, they are covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (which means, once spent, they do not need to be disclosed and you are protected by the ROA) and are also included in the Police Act 1997 as being disclosed on standard and enhanced checks as these are carried out for positions exempt from the ROA.
