Sorry to a pedant, but a simple caution is not a conviction. It is an administrative penalty which can only be offered if an offence is admitted to. Convictions refer to matters which have been heard by the Court and the defendant has either pleaded guilty to or been found guilty of the offence.
A simple caution will be recorded (in most cases) and may be disclosed as a result of a crb enquiry. It does however depend on the enforcement agency administering the simple caution.
