I'm wondering if anyone can advise me on what an employer would see when a basic DBS check was run on someone who, in 2017, was arrested under section 136 of the MH Act.
My daughter was arrested for her own safety following a suicide attempt and was then detained in a secure mental health ward for 4 days.
No criminal act was carried out - the arrest was purely for her own safety.
She is now applying for jobs in the finance industry and may require a basic DBS - would this "arrest" show on the certificate?
At the moment she hasn't declared her MH issues.
She has currently only completed a basic job application form but she has been called forward to the interview selection stage - if she passes this stage she will be asked to complete a health questionnaire.
She is happy to disclose her mental health condition (BPD which was diagnosed approximately 5 months after the section) but doesn't know if the arrest will be shown on the basic DBS.
Any information on this matter would be most welcome.
