On the form returned they have all sections as OK but the " other information " states that I was arrested for touching a child inappropriatly ? The case was never proven and subsequently dropped by the police for lack of evidence. The information on the form is pretty graphic but the accusation was false ? How can I clear my name. Anyone seeing this would cringe however I haven'y done anything wrong. My Solicitor says just keep quiet about it but the CRB has just bought the whole thing back to life ? Help

I dont think you can clear this information from a CRB check. Its there for a reason. All you can do is provide the evidence that you were cleared and the information was false.
Speak to a different solicitor but I doubt he/she will tell you that it can be removed. Its on your criminal record at the end of the day.

Kick up a stink about this, yes it will be on your criminal record (you were arrested, innocent or not) but because you are innocent then it should have no bearing on your life in the future.
If your current solicitor will not help you then get another one. If you cannot find one then go to your MP and keep pushing until it is sorted. Could also try Citizens Advice. If that gets you nowhere then take the police to court for defomation of character or something.
Honestly, keep fighting it. Get it sorted
Good luck.

you can't clear the CRB.
this information is needed by people who ask for it because if you, for example have 15 arrests made for allegations of child abuse as a result of seperate complaints, it builds a picture about you for an employer.
personally i do not want anyone to have an ability to be able to clear this record because i would want to know whether i am letting a person accused of this looking after my child.
I know you say that you have done nothing wrong but the point of the matter is that alot of people have done things wrong and the case has been dropped against them on a technicality. It is important that this information is kept on a person's record.
you can only explain the circumstances to an employer who sees this. A place of work involving children will not employ you so if this is the job you are looking for, change careers.
if you are asked on application form if you have been convicted of any offence, simply state no.
i know you feel hard done by... but that's life.

This is the problem, once the accusation has been made it is made and there is sod all you can do about it unless you were not arrested. It is a hell of a situation, if you are completely innocent ( I mean innocent not not proceeded with) and a gift to the "No smoke without fire brigade"
If you did it and got away with it get on with it you don't deserve any sympathy

In the US, this is the problem, whether guilty or innocent, once it's on there, it's on there. False accusations put people in turmoil. All you can do is get a high powered attorney who may be able to petition to get it removed, which is difficult to do anyway, or just provide the documents that it was false.

Contact the police for information on how to clear it, I don't know much about it but if it was not proven or time served long ago you can pay to get it cleared, its around £500

well, as it says 'arrested for' not charged with, i would just point out to any employers etc. that you did not do it, and that there was no evidence for it. Personally, though, i would have just listened to the soliciter. They do tend to know what they are talking about.

Find the way to fight this. Poor old silly laws got it all worng, but you need to prove that.
Go to the newspapers, make it big news and get some compensation,,,from everyone concerned.
