Hi I’ve gone through the vetting process and passed. Currently waiting for dates for the assessment day

[@Ape-em7pn]

what did they ask for

[@user-um8xt5xe1v]

How long did the vetting take?

[@samrees2k9]

Vetting scares me. I hope none of my family have convictions they haven't told me

[@weridlol7563]

@@Gal2k6 My flatmates cousin got out of prison and told his probation officer he would be staying at our address when this was a lie! I had no idea until recently, found out because I started receiving letters from the prison to his name. Do you know if this would fail me? They might think he lives with us and has a criminal record and I did not mention it but in reality he just lied and I had no idea

I sent an email to you, I failed vetting back in 2016 at a goverment agnecy for somthing i did not decleare which is fair enough, however this has been used agasint me to fail my vetting 7 years later which is outragous. I sent an email of my vetting appeal to your email.

What’s was your outcome?

[@Huh-xz7ob]

If I had a sibling that was arrested for petty crimes (shoplifting, possession of class b etc etc) but never convicted (as he is under 18) would this affect the vetting process? For background I live at the same address.

[@FragranceGame85]

I had a conviction as a 13yr old. I am now 38yr old. Would they have rejected my initial application if they wernt happy that was on my DBS? I have completed national sift and awaiting the OAC

[@bluelightconsultancy]

Best ask your force this Q

[@teamalpha7423]

Tbh every police officer should go through full SC clearance, in which I completed and they still think they’re higher than other people…just for reference they don’t?

Hi I have a question my dad is in prison and has some bad charges I have no contact with him will this effect my vetting?

[@bluelightconsultancy]

Highly likely that this will impact on your vetting and it is likely you will fail, although I would need to know more first - Brendan

Can someone please ask this please! Is PCSO vetting different to PC vetting, and if so… how different?

[@Tom-.-.-.]

Police vetting covers more personal data compared to PCSO. Just more thourough

[@SJ_Vibezz]

I can’t remember when the police stopped me. They saw me in a sports car in a rough area and wanted to stop me. He was rather annoyed to realise I have a professional job and am a good citizen

[@sammieeedoddssss]

Hi. Do you have any advice on the vetting appeal itself?

[@bluelightconsultancy]

Yes lots

[@iraamyaqoob]

Hi, does the police look at your Internet history?

[@gogomad1000]

Do they go through your emails and social media?

[@bluelightconsultancy]

Emails no, SM yes!!

[@isaac8804]

Hi, I would hope someone got back to me regarding this matter... I recently just completed a vetting form and failed it...I want to know based on educated opinion from someone on whether or not they believe I will be successful in my appeal. On the general vetting form before it goes to vetting officer, I had declared an incident with the month and year(didn't specifically remember the day) area and vehicle. Once it had gone to a vetting officer, the vetting officer had enquired about other information declared on the vetting form but not anything about the incident that I had declared and failed vetting for. The last question the vetting officer had asked was if I knew anyone who was a suspect or victim to the police and due to the fact it had said if I knew of anyone, I stated anyone I knew. I do believe that this was poor vetting refusal but id like someone educated to assist me. Thanks for your time!

[@bluelightconsultancy]

HI Isaac, really hard to advise as I do not know the full facts. Email me on [e-mail]

[@chickenandchips8802]

It’s crazy how an allegation can make someone fail the vetting. anyone can be accused of anything.

[@bluelightconsultancy]

It doesn’t work like that

[@KathrynStewart-ck4my]

Yes they do

[@weridlol7563]

Hi, I wanted to ask, I did a really stupid thing and shoplifted when I was 17 years old. The company did NOT call the police, however i did give them my name and address and they sent an RLP (Retail loss prevention) letter to my house with a fine that I did pay. Do I need to declare that? Had no contact with the police!

[@LissC555]

Strange Q, but was the shop in a town thats was in a BID at the time? It should be googlable. Because they may have a Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) if so. In which case they may use a system called DISC for every shop to put up pictures of their shoplifters to share info. HOWEVER- as you didn’t reoffend, you would have dropped off their system because they have time limits if a few years before the disappear off the system for data protection reasons (unless they reoffend). So you should be okay not to tell them. If worried, try find a cop friend to ask. If the value was low, it’s doubtful they reported you to the police.

[@ClaireOrme]

The reason I was declined is I forgot to put down 2 bits of information

[@bluelightconsultancy]

Have you resubmitted?

Caution as youth could prevent joining the police

[@zzzo4509]

I have ABH ON MY RECORD i believe this should not stop me. I am a great person and would be a 1 in a million police officer. the case details is not as bad as sounds, not even a little. can you offer me any helpful info?

[@chickenandchips8802]

Hi what had happened then? Did you pass the vetting ?
