I don't believe you can get arrest records for a background screening on a employee like that in the UK (or the rest of Europe). You'd need a damn good reason why you want one so thorough and last I checked, in my country that means you're going for teacher, social worker, government office, etc. And even then this wouldn't be reason for denial if the arrest is not related to your job or you can reasonably explain the matter.
