i was wrongly accused in the past of ABH to a vulnerable adult, what I can do to delete this from my CRB check?

Hello reader I have been searching for many years for an answer to my problem. I hope that writing this here will help me, as I don't know where else I can look for the answer. My problem is that i was wrongly accused in the past of ABH to a vulnerable adult, ( just because I found on the person I was taking care of, a scratch on his back), and for this reason, I was suspended from work for two years while I was going to crown court. At the end, I was found no guilty, exactly was..'case with no answer'. This has been the worse nightmare that has ever happened to me in my life. I was so sad and depressed because I could have faced 5 years in jail when I was innocent, that I was almost about to kill myself. How can you face jail when you are innocent? What my family would say? Or anyone how knows me? That would destroy my life and career!!! After all I have passed during these years, my employment did an internal investigation right after i was found not guilty, and they recognise their mistake and false accusation! I don't know if I was stupid, but my company offered me just over 2 grand if I would decided to leave the job. All I wanted was my life back, not bloody money! They promised me to contact POVA, ( now called SOVA), and take me out of their list and I would have my life back and normal as always. I told to my company that I didn't want money, I wanted my job. One year later, i applied within the company to a senior post, when I had the regular CRB check and to find out the police left a horrible comment in Other Relevant Information, saying that I am a potential risk for any company that works with vulnerable adults or children because I was accused of ABH!! I am now a Team Leader in the same company and I have proof to the society and everyone that I am a good citizen and good caring person devoted to my job. I know that this is the job of my life because I believe that, the purpose of me in this world is to help others jn need. I never have been arrested or had any sort of trouble with the law or police in my whole life. So my question is: Will this comment made by the police on my CRB check could destroy my career? Can a company, lets say NHS, refuse to give me a job because I have this comment on my CRB check? Is it not against the human rights to be refused of getting a job because I was wrongly accused in the past but never convicted? I know that working with vulnerable people such children, adults with learning disability or even elderly people can be really risky and stressful because in any moment someone that hates you at work wants you to suffer. What they don't realise is that you are playing with someone's life and future. Even people close to you will suffer if you get accused!! I contacted the chief officer from the local police station by letter, explaining my situation. They replied to my letter saying they will assess their own comment. Not long later, they said they did some changes and that is their only one they will do, (like, do not bother us again because we won't take it off). Funny end, when I discover when applied again for a team leader within the company that the same horrible comment about me still there. No help at all from the local Citizen Bureau office. They told me that they can do this and take off if they want to, or leave it there for ever! How is that possible? I was already found no guilty by a court of law!!! Have I been judge again by the local police station? by their own laws and policies? All I want is to help people! To see people smiling because of my help! Be respected for what I do and what I am. To show people the world through other eyes, to promote self esteem and open the doors to life. That is what I want to do! That is the reason that makes me carry on fighting!! And most important... I would like to start my own family with my beautiful wife. I just would like to know if my family and myself have to pay for such an injustice. The only reason I can think of, is because I am not english. After six years now, I still looking for answers. Sorry for making such a long explaining, but this is the shortest i can make few years of hope, fear and horrible suffering. I think I could write million pages or being days just explaining my search for justice. maybe I been a blind foolish because justice does not exist

1. Most of the users on this site are only interested in which is the best color lip gloss. If this is a legit situation (and not trolling) you should seek professional legal representation to clear your record.
2. Just for clarification, is ABH 'actual bodily harm'? I'm not sure how you should continue with this as I see you're from the UK and I'm not familiar with their laws, but best of luck to you. You might have to talk to a lawyer about getting that removed from your record, start with whoever legally represented you the first time you went to court.
3. Have you contacted a UK Solicitor about this. ?
