I have a mate that is hoping to go into care work. She was charged with an offense but it was thrown out of court. She was aquited of all charges. IT was a case of mistaken identity. She wants to know whether her police check will show anything? She was told by the court that her character would be unblemished.

No problem. Standard Disclosures show current and spent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings held on the Police National Computer - your friend will have none of these. An Enhanced Disclosure is the highest level of check available to anyone involved in regularly caring for, training, supervising or being in sole charge of children or vulnerable adults. It is also available in certain licensing purposes and judicial appointments. Enhanced Disclosures contain the same information as the Standard Disclosure but with the addition of any relevant and proportionate information held by the local police forces.
She has nothing to worry about.

I have a problem here because I am not sure how far Social Services go. I hope it is wrong that these people will still list anyone charged with an offence against a vulnerable person and treat them as though they were guilty. nice and easy if you're guilty you're guilty and if your found not guilty you're still guilty because there is no smoke without fire.
In this case of mistaken identity she should have nothing to fear and must challenge it if it shows up against her

I'll be honest I'm not 100% sure, but I think she'll be ok. It was due to a lack of evidence that the case was thrown out, it was completely the wrong person so... I'm gonna say yes, I think she'll be good to go

Mr PHD obviously isn't a PhD!
As someone who has gone through aCRB check I cantell you that charges will show up, but will not have any effect if she wasn't found guilty, therefore the employer will get a thumbs up from the CRB as to their past being unblemished.

If, as you say, the case was dropped and she was aquitted, then her CRB will be clear.
Hope she enjoys her new work...

She has no convictions full stop and in UK arrests do not appear on a check as they do in USA..

Thanks to our wonderful government, just becasue you are acquitted, does not mean that it is not on your record. It will show up, but it should not be a bar on her getting a job, as it will show that the case was discontinued.

Once you are in the system (arrested), it will always show something. This is true in all 50 states - not sure about foreign countries.
