So i am thinking of volunteering and this requires an enhanced dbs check by the organisation. About 3 years ago i had a horrible experience of being falsely accused of smacking and abusing my child in a shopping centre. Police came and took name and address and told me there would be no follow up and that nothing would be recorded on any databases (my daughter was fine obviously and was running about and laughing). However now that i think abt it, i wonder how true this is!?
