CTC/SC

[superM]

I applied for post which requires CTC and SC clearance in civil service.

I have looked through information online which states they check spent and unspent convictions. 24 years ago I was arrested but not charged. The arrest may still show on police records but I was not convicted.

Does this likely to show up when they do there checks?

I have looked at the security clearance application form. In the criminal check section there is a tick box for spent/unspent conviction details but they have not asked for arrest details.

Thanks

Yes it will show up, you should declare everything regardless of how long ago it was - better to be honest and upfront instead of missing anything out.

Even if it shows up it depends what it's for.

I worked in a SC cleared role and plenty of my colleagues who had convictions still got in (for stuff like assault).

Anything fraud related was an instant blocker.
