Dbs concerns

Jobhunt

I have been waiting for an enhanced dbs check to come back, it’s been a few weeks. I need it to start a role and honestly I think il probably lose it now. 
 I’m worried about something that may be on my record . An ex of mine flipped out and phoned the police on me ( just to get me out as the sound of talking woke his house mate up  , which I did get out and put my coat on etc) and they took me home, didn’t really say much . As far as I’m aware it was a non crime domestic ( that is what the ex told me , that the police established no crime had been committed which is true ). He lied on the phone I hit him, that worries me. He was emotionally  abusive but I’d rather not get into that.

Has anyone see this come up or had it come on a dbs ? Is this incident the cause of the dbs taking a long time? 

Any info or experiences welcome .

Someone calling the police on you will not be on a DBS

Hi iv been waiting for my DBS since December and it's now march no money in debt. No help iv escalated still nothing and it's gone past that now

Who did you escalate with?

Is your check complicated - multiple names / addresses / much to find?

There's nothing to show up, unless you received a police caution - and from what you've said, that certainly wasn't the cases do no, nothing to worry about apart from the frustrating delay. Contact your potential employer and let them know you remain very keen and have chased the DBS check.

There's nothing you can really do, sometimes DBS checks take a long time, it should not affect you losing a job offer because the employer requesting the DBS should know that it can vary when you get these back.

Not 100 percent on that though if I’m honest .

For an enhanced check gov.uk says

• an enhanced check, which shows the same as a standard check plus any information held by local police that’s considered relevant to the role

So in theory it could come up, but I suspect it’d need to be more than 1 domestic dispute. If there was a domestic every week with obvious signs of abuse but no charges ever brought, yes that’s very likely to be an issue, a single row where police were called less so
