Answer: No, the school has a duty to ask about the existence of convictions/cautions of any student who it is considering for work experience and to pass on this information to the employer. This is so that he/she can make a judgement about whether it makes any difference to the type of experience that can be offered. Cautions or convictions may not be revealed without your permission. - Related Link
