I do not know about others, but the UK system was designed to deal with 
spent convictions by treating them the same as any other. It returns all 
convictions (or convictions and suspicions in the case of an enhanced 
check) no matter how old they are, and leaves it to the applying 
organisation to apply ROOA.

It is possible that this has been or is being changed, but it was 
certainly true a year or so ago, and I suspect it still is.
