If you get found guilty/prosecuted then yes I am pretty sure it will show up on a DBS check (the new CRB).

I don't know if it would be something that would prevent you from getting to be a nursery nurse or mental health nurse. In all jobs you need to declare convictions, but for most jobs a conviction is not necessarily something that will prevent you from getting a job.

Obviously working with children and vulnerable adults is different, and they may say you cannot work there with a conviction for assault.

I just found this

The information shown on your DBS check will depend on the level of check that you apply for. There are three levels of DBS checks currently available:

A standard check will show any unspent convictions, cautions, warnings or reprimands along with any spent convictions and cautions that are not eligible for filtering.

An enhanced check will show any unspent convictions, cautions, warnings or reprimands along with any spent convictions and cautions that are not eligible for filtering. Intelligence held by the police may also be included if the Police reasonably believe it is pertinent to a recruitment decision.

An enhanced check with DBS Barred list check will show the same information as an enhanced check along with any information held on the barred list(s) being checked (Children's, Adults' or Both).

As a nursery nurse or a MH nurse, you will be working with vulnerable people so you would be required to complete an enhanced DBS - which would show if you're charged.

Its at the employer's discretion if they choose to hire you anyway.
They're more likely to do so if several years have paced since
