Doing a bit of Googling on the RoOA I'm finding that it is very unclear on
this subject. Certainly I can find no specific offence under this Act for
failing to give the information requested.

I think it could be argued, however, that anyone making a false statement
(eg "I have no convictions") for the purposes of obtaining employment, is
certainly committing an offence - "Obtaining a pecuniary advantage (ie paid
employment) by deception" is the one that springs immediately to mind.

That wouldn't apply to unpaid voluntary work.

That being the case it could be argued that you are required by law to
provide the requested information!

I'm guessing here, but I presume that, where disclosure of all convictions,
including spent ones, is requested, that this is required by law under
legislation pertaining to people working with children and vulnerable persons,
or perhaps OSA for security-sensitive positions.

I still don't think there's anything in law which requires the police to keep
records of convictions for any time at all, just the ACPO guidelines already
cited.
