Any advice please on how to write a statement when applying for a job?

My son is looking at applying for a job working nights at a local food store.On the application form it asks about any unspent convictions but says this is optional...

His SHPO doesn't have restrictions on under 18 as his was an online offence but he is quite willing to disclose if needed.

The store doesn't employ any under 18 year olds.
