Mine is so out of date the paper has probably yellowed but I can also give references that overlap - ie no gaps in care back over 10 years which is more than the police check covers anyways. I always explain to a family that if I had committed a crime - and that it only includes convictions not accusations that parents would have left my care and/or my own children would have been removed from my home. Generally that is enough to satisfy most parents. The ones that are still sticklers I put that in my negative list and don't accept them - it usually means they are listening to too much propaganda type messages and would not be a good fit for a home that operates with a more old fashion framework anyways.
It may be that the family is using this same wisdom in not needing you to have a current check but since there is no history that can verify your husband then they are asking for one for him. I also tend to stay away from the families that seem uptight about my husband or my teenage son when he lived at home being around their kids because I don't need false accusations either.
