+xI believe in 2014 certain police cautions were filtered out although the police still may disclose the caution to a potential employer regarding it if they feel the caution relevant, if anyone knows whether or not these cautions that have now been filtered out include carrying an offensive weapon please can they let me know?
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dbs-filtering-guidanceHave a look there.
It depends on your age when you were cautioned, amongst other things.
Adult cautions are usually filtered after 6 years, and if you were under 18 at the time of caution 2 years, providing the offence is not on the list of 'cautions that will never be filtered' which you will find detailed guidance about on the link above.
It might help to go through all of the filtering guidance on the link as it can be confusing
