Its is probably best to speak to the college before they find out from the crb people. If you upfront and honest about it, they may decide it is ok but contact them direct

good luck

What ever you do, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES try to hide it from your university. They will find out about your cautions but one of the traits required of nurses/midwives/doctors is that they are honest. Speak to the admissions dept and explain your situation. Turn it around from a bad experience to a positive one - what you have learned. When get your interview be prepared for it to be brought up and, as I have said, explain what you have learned, how the experience has made you a better person. Don't give up. There is a person on my course who has a caution and it hasn't stopped them persuing their dream.
Good luck.
