Ian yes any conviction will stay on your record for life however they become spent after a certain amount of time, meaning you don't have to declare them when applying for a job etc...
As for a CRB check i have had one done at a previous job, i have a couple of convictions from when i was a teenager i just declared them when applying and was cleared to work as a contractor in sensitive government areas. I think what their generally looking for is any conviction that would make you a concern working around children or the public not whether you went off the rails a bit as a teenager, obviously depends what the conviction was for, any conviction for violent crime might cause you problems!!
