I dont know how effective are small claims court in England but you can try to take the store owner or security guard to small claims court.

Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Go to the doctor, tell him your depression problems, tell him you cant sleep at nights, your are having work related problems and personal problems, headache, migrane, drowsiness, girlfriend/wife left you, your kids hate you (if you have any). This incident had a direct impact on your personal life
2. Go to a psychologist, remember your must behave in a way so that the psychologist certifies that you are mentally unstable
3. Go to a good lawyer, explain to him your situation and let him take over

Have the store owner pay you and your lawyer for out of court settlement, share the spoils of war, have them withdraw police record and then you are a free man. Life is too short to be stressed out all the time. Chill and enjoy yaar

If you had 2 items to exchange, it means you entered the store carrying them in a bag right? I think you should fight the charge. See a lawyer and find out whether they can request footage from that day. Stores lose a lot of money from shoplifting and I think sometimes security is a bit overzealous. So sorry this happened to you.

The only way to know is to apply for the visa. Even without a charge, people can be denied. Unfortunately, you would have to answer "Yes" to the question asking if you have ever been charged with a crime and then explain.

The mistake the OP made was in accepting the Police Caution. By doing so, you admit the offence and then have no recourse. See https://www.gov.uk/caution-warning-penalty

Cautions
Cautions are given to adults aged 18 or over for minor crimes - eg writing graffiti on a bus shelter.

You have to admit an offence and agree to be cautioned. If you don’t agree, you can be arrested and charged.

A caution is not a criminal conviction, but it could be used as evidence of bad character if you go to court for another crime.

There is nothing more that can be done.

You will just have to apply for the visa and see if it's granted. Personally, I see no reason why it would be blocked by this issue alone.

You can't use the "Small Claims Court" like this. It's not what it was designed for.
You would have to sue the store only in a another civil court proceeding. You probably cannot go after the security guard as he was an employee of the store and would be covered by them as he was performing his job, however badly.

at times in life though one is not at much fault has to pay price for life... it was unfair one step to just get out of matter as I was feeling humiliated and was evenn not told implication of caution ...police told me if you ask for lawyer it will take time caution is nothing but slap on wrist dont do it agian....they misguided me and was not aware of rules implication i thought saying sorring and getting out of this would easy option but now repenting why did i accept somehting which i have not done.. if god is there exisiting he should see my innocense and humiliatin for no reason and help me out...
