Arrest - released without charge - impact on career?

It might show up on an enhanced CRB check, which can include even allegations not yet leading to an arrest - in fact allegations you may not even be aware of.

If the role being applied for has contact with children, I'd bet the chances of this being flagged go from low to high. No vetting officer is going to take a chance when they see the details of the arrest even remotely talked about killing a child, in jest or not.

And strictly speaking, if she wants to go to the US, she now needs to apply for a visa, rather than go on the visa waiver scheme.

She doesn't work with children or vulnerable people. She works in the banking sector.

Would banking contracts need enhanced crb's?

Well it has'nt done me any harm! I've had 2 employments with enhanced CRB (with convictions from misspent youth & some adulthood!) - it really depends on the convictions & the job in question i.e. banking will prob have a problem with fraud but not with a driving conviction, also NHS prob wont have problem with fraud, driving etc but anything involving violence / abuse would be an issue - depending on the particular role.

There's actually very few organisation that ask for CRB & they have to get your permission first - there cannot be anything on hers as she has not committed any offence.

As for the US visa - as soon as you mention any conviction / arrest you'll have no chance, I've heard people just lie? In her case she has nothing to mention anyway.

Visas | Embassy of the United States

We do not recommend that travelers who have been arrested at anytime attempt to travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program(VWP); they are required to apply for visas before traveling.

She has been arrested, so she would either need to apply for a visa, or just lie about it.

Hi, best thing is for her to apply for the CRB online, I was asked to do it for a prev job (they sent me the online link and asked me to do it myself instead of the agency doing it), it only cost about £25
She then can see what appears in it and what she needs to declare.

Here is the link - btw for the banks I did only the basic disclosure

Hope this is the same as what you are asking.
