Advice for enhanced DBS check

Apologies if I posted in the wrong forum.

I'm having continuous worries about a future enhanced DBS check. A job I want (in the health and social care area) requires an enhanced DBS check, I'm 15 currently so I won't be applying for any care jobs until I'm 18+. Anyway, 1 year ago (when I had just turned 14) I had an online argument with someone and some harsh things were said. He claimed that I had chased him with a sharp weapon (which is untrue) and the PCSOs got involved. I wasn't arrested or taken to the station, I got no caution, conviction or criminal record, the PCSOs just spoke to me a few times, referred me to the school counsellor and that was that, really. Nothing else has come from the incident since.

I'm going on to do a college course in health and social next year and then eventually work with seniors in a care home. Regardless of having no criminal record, is this the sort of thing that shows up on an enhanced DBS check? It's really worrying me.

If you didn't receive a caution then it won't show up.

Why do you keep posting this?

Same as last time . No record means nothing to worry about. Ring NACRO whom I left you the details for on your previous thread.

I don't think it will show up because it is a check of YOUR criminal record not someone elses. Do not worry.

I don't have a criminal record but he did report me to the PCSOs (or the school who then spoke to the PCSOs) and I was spoken to about the messages I sent (in the argument) which resulted in him saying I had chased him
