Police and CRB
 

Im currently off my uni course thats nursing and i have to be re-CRB checked to go back plus i have to be CRB checked now because im applying for voluntary work anyway.

In febuaray when i was really depressed and suicidial i ran away from a and e and took a OD, the police were phoned and they found me and took me back to hospital-because i needed medical treatment. I agreed to go with them purely because i didnt want to be sectioned or arrested. Will this up on my CRB check?? Im kinda worried because i dont want to explain to workers what happened.

No, if you were not held under section an enhanced CRB will not have details of anything medical.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's extremely, extremely unlikely to show up. It was a relatively small event in the eyes of the police, and you weren't violent or even resistant, so there's no reason for them to write anything whatsoever, but because the police were involved there's still a tiny chance. Perhaps you should bring this up with the uni, because you know, even if it does, they most likely won't think much of it, because isn't this kind of thing dealt with by occupational health?

Sorry to go off on a tangent here, and it's kind of off-topic but:

It's not as simple as that.. and I know I've said this about a million times on this forum now, but enhanced CRB's deal with deeper information and intelligence held on a person by the police - on local records or the PNC as part of reports or enquiries made. For example, there are people (2 I know of) who have overdosed and the police and ambulance have arrived to pick that person up, not necessarily section them, but the police will usually write a report (if they're not lazy) on why/where they were, and will often get your name/details, not only for the report, but also as intelligence in case they have to deal with you again in the future. I've been very lucky with this lately because I was arrested and taken to a place of safety for being drunk & incapable, but they left not long after and never bothered getting my details, however they must've had to make a report, and if they did get my details, there's enough that happened (even if it wasn't my fault) that night that could've made me out to be some violent drunk that would make me look very bad in a CRB report, despite the fact I'm not/wasn't in actual legal trouble.

All I'm trying to say is, don't discount the possibility, even though its low.. but don't sweat. Just inform your uni yourself. It's not a big deal at all.

^ I've been held under section 5 (2) but because it was medical it doesn't show up on my enhanced CRB even though the police were in the hospital to stop people held leaving. It's all very odd.

There are people who have been s.136'd (some more than once), and also not had a scratch written against them in their enhanced CRB - it's all down to police discretion and luck, I guess. It wouldn't be because its medical, just that the police saw it unnecessary, that's if it was even logged.

^ A lot of things seem to be down to police/medical staff and their decision at the time. There really should be some kind of code to follow :P

Yeah, the system needs quite a bit of a change, imo. I'm all for the safeguarding of vulnerable adults and children with what's necessary (and yeah it should be a priority), but I'm also against unjust discrimination against those with mental illnesses that aren't dangerous or unmanageble, very minor and irrelevant criminal records or when there's faulty intel on a person - I heard of a case lately where someone had a CRB check done and an anonymous report from Crime Stoppers that he didn't know about came up on his disclosure (sorry, don't have the source atm), so yeah. >.<

I agree with the others here - its odd what can show up so I'd admit anything that could because if you don't acknowledge it and it comes up you are automatically removed from the course for fraud (or that is the standard procedure).

Ok thanks guys
