I was arrested for an offence involving children but the police took no further action against me. Can this still affect my job prospects?

Yes, unfortunately it can. The police are permitted to provide the Criminal Records Bureau with any information they feel is relevant and that can include the fact that you were questioned. This may impact on employment prospects or contact arrangements if proceedings on family issues occur in the future.
