security clearance

I think police applicants just get run through the PNC to check for criminal convictions, i dont think you would be subject to Baseline checks. Maybe if something popped up on PNC they would investigate further though?

Whilst this is true...

Talking about Baseline/employment/CTC is nothing like as serious. The OP would not be asking about anything above this level, as he is quite clearly clueless. (no offence intended)

If you were SV, or certainly if you were DV cleared you would most likely have clicked on this thread, done a :rolleyes: and moved on.
 
i think it must be SC clearance, i had to fill in a 20ish page application detailing everything i'd done in the last 5 years for work, living, friends and family etc. apparantly i was basic cleared after a few months but was told the other clearance could take a year

More that that, it gets sent off
 
I came into this thread hoping to offer what advice I am permitted to provide. Unfortunately, there are children here who either have no useful input into the thread and give out rubbish information or who just want to argue.

I have had it impressed on me what information I can and cannot give out under threat of arrest. Yes thats not "oh I might lose my job" Yes it IS that serious. Its not a question of fill in a training book and not ever read it, we are talking serious time spent dictating what you can and cannot disclose/do/look at.

I feel so happy for the poster who feels its fine to talk about his families involvement with defence etc, good one. You have now made them either a target for foreign intelligence or at the least a target for losing their jobs. Bravo. :rolleyes:

I have a document in front of me now, which I am not allowed to name, which specifically says you can't disclose the fact. I can't even type out the paragraph because its part of a document which is higher than UBS.

GCHQ mention it in adverts because they have a "need to know" and are asking, not advertising that they have it.

In case you were wondering, yes I do know what I am talking about and unless you have a specific clearance, I can't discuss it with you even over e-mail.

LOL LOL LOL Chairman LMAO! I'm guessing you're some bottom-of-the-pile IT support dude within something loosly associated with GCHQ or the military. The thing about this thread is that people who really have access to the kind of information that you suggest you have access to wouldn't ever post here.
I'm quite happy to state that until June last year I had the level of clearance that allowed me to control the movement of NATO submarines in UK waters. I'm not pretending that I know any secrets, that I have access to any documents that I'm going to pretend are important, that I can't discuss what my role was or anything similar.
Mejinks - you are a bull****.

EDIT - I've only just read the post above, and I now think you're even more of a bull****!

You really have little idea about most things don't you?
 
I don't know how much truth there is in those statements, but don't jump to conclusions so quickly. :/

For example, I know of places where you have to have checks and sign the Official Secrets Act just to work in finance. If there is any chance you might see something sensitive, then these places want to ensure that you don't disclose it. If you've signed the Official Secrets Act then you most certainly can be arrested for breaching it.

And no, before anyone asks, I haven't signed it and I'm not security cleared.
 
Absolutely. I don't disagree with that. It's nothing particularly uncommon. Doesn't diminish the facts though.

Edit - pedantry, much? :( As a layman I don't know the offical terms. I accept that's a very common mistake and one I have insufficient information to correct.

The OSA is a matter of course, when we did work experience when we were 15 some people went to work at raf bases etc and they were bragging how they had signed it.
I get a strange sense of deja vu when i read this thread.
