My friend is angry at me and says he now has a criminal record /something on his national police check because I called the police to go and check on him today. They did a simple welfare check to make sure he wasn't in trouble after I hadn't heard back from him for days and he was complaining about his heart recently and asked me to check in on him from time to time via phone to make sure he's okay because he lives alone.

Is it true that a welfare check would go on his record?

I agree with @Iamthelaw.
Your friend is mistaken.
