Arrested for drugs possession but not charged yet - do I disclose?

No, getting caught doing something that you know is illegal and then winging about it like a little girl is a reflection on todays society.

From the man that starts "Light a Candle for One a Day" topics.

Pussy.

Very fair comment.

The OP acted like a total arse, got caught and is now wondering how to dodge telling a client that he's blatantly broken their rules and even considering committing fraud to do so.

No sympathy what so ever for the OP.

The most shocking part of this story is that this is his first post in his 10 year contracting career.

I`ll just say 'good luck' .
I`m tempted to say "honesty is the best policy" but depends on how likely they are to find this information out. The consequences of you signing the form and them finding out that you were not being honest could be quite servere. I personally would be honest about it and learn from the mistake and accept the consequences, we all make mistakes and should accept the consequences.

Knowing where the information ends up can be unpredictable and depends on the local Police force, they can do some things differently. For example, a warning(less severe than a caution) may only be held by the local Police force but others may stick it on the PNC for a period of time (such as a year), just in case you`re caught somewhere else for the same offence. After a year it is removed from the PNC but the local Police force will obviously still have a record of the offense.

Personally I`d be surprised if a drug related issue was not stored on the PNC.
I don`t know what information banks can access but if a criminal records check is carried out you could be busted! However,usually you have to sign your consent to such a check being carried out and if you haven`t that probably means they won`t find out.

Risky dicision!

Really? I would point to the evidence that suggests otherwise.

We all make mistakes, and perhaps learn and grow from them, or refuse their existence.

I thought maybe you could go either way, but after reading your second post I realise you haven't arrived in this situation humbled and ashamed; instead your arrogant, combative and unremorseful.

But worst of all, you are stupid. In so many ways you, and your attitude, is what is wrong with today's society.

WHS!!

My point being that the ‘criminal waiver’ document is just the same. As far as I know there is no legitimate way to get this verified unless it is one of those checks for specific jobs that involve vulnerable people or require security clearance. The banks or any other commercial entity don’t have access.

Can anyone confirm the veracity of this?

I'm not sure that I'd bet my job prospects on something that you read by HAB on this forum!!

You've all been drawn in by this sockie, haven't you?

Well it beats the standard Monday morning 'What expenses can I claim' from a first time poster type post.

There is nothing stopping a bank getting CRB checks done except admin costs.
