I've been offered a job working in a pre school and am really pleased.
I have no criminal record or convictions but a year ago I had a bit of a breakdown, went out and got drunk and did some cocaine. When I went to the doctors for some help it was flagged up to social services who opened a child in need case. This was soon closed as I posed no risk to my children (they weren't with me at the time) and i was also diagnosed with bi polar 2. I have been stable for a year now, I don't drink and take regular medication.
At the time this happened I was also working in a school and because of this social services decided to tell them what happened. Again this was investigated and I was found not guilty of posing any risk to children and I wasn't even suspended while Thai went on. The school have said that they will not be allowed to disclose What happened to anyone asking for a reference but that it may show up on my DBS?? I have tried to find out some info on this and it looks like the police can disclose any information held on file about me even if I wasn't convicted of anything. Does anyone l ow if this is likely to show up? School said it was unlikely but I'm really worried!
