I have to get a criminal record check and a child welfare check before I can be hired as a childcare worker.

I have never been arrested or convicted of any crime. Nor have I ever abused a child.

Just the thought of going to the police station and having them search my personal records scares me to death! I keep on trying to remind myself that I have never been convicted or arrested for any crime. But still I cannot stop worrying about it all.

And as for the child welfare check as I have stated before I have never abused a child before nor would I ever. My paranoia tells me since I didn't leave on good terms with my former employers that what if they put something down on my file saying I hurt a child?

It has been 3 years since I have worked with children. And in those 3 years the police and child welfare have not contacted me at all.

I know this sounds very silly but would it be safe to assume that my records are clear?
