Hi,
I will soon be applying for a working holiday visa, however in my first year of university (2012) I was cautioned for 'disorderly behavior' under section 5 Public Order Act whilst out drinking with friends which resulted in a little scrap.
After doing some research, it seems I should be supplying a copy of a 'police check' to attach to my visa application
Where do I get one of these from the UK? I went to the website of the authority (West Yorkshire Police) but it says it just gives me data they have on me, not the Police National Database, so I don't know if this will be enough to satisfy the Australian Immigration authority.
Thanks
