    What is one of the main things I want to know is what do they need to know is it just immediate family they need to know about or do you need all details of every aunt and uncle?


    The vetting only asks for details about your mum, dad, brothers and sisters. Other things that are asked about include your previous addresses, work history, convictions (including all driving offences) and some questions about your finances. You won't need to hunt down anything about long lost aunts and uncles!

    Just out of curiosity, what sort of financial stuff do they ask?

    Have you ever been in unmanageable debt, have you been declared bankrupt, etc. Nothing too specific.

    And if you have be as honest and give as much detail about it as possible, reasons, income, out goings etc. That way you mightn't get given the financial firms which just prolong the process. There's pages at the back for additional info. In this case less is definitely not more!

    Absolutely dreaded the financial bit. Made me cringe the whole way through it.

    Did you get sorted with a number? I could pm you an email address if you need it?

    Hey could you pm me the vetting email address please? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 201 ✭✭Psni26


    Could somebody please pm the vetting email addresses please Iv heard there's 2


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭Nerves2016


    assuming vetting isnt complete until substance misuse test is complete...ive no previous or declarations so confident vetting will be passed....fingers crossed!!! 1409 campaign is moving so quick


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25 Sidelined1234


    Do they let you know if vetting is completed? Or is it a no news is good news thing?
    They asked me for photographs of my tattoos and I sent them in weeks ago. Got confirmation they were received but nothing after that.
    They're all hidden and nothing offensive so should be fine but would I hear otherwise?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 coolhand50


    I emailed vetting to check my progress and they told me they cannot give info about individual candidates. Did I email the wrong people? How could I go about finding out about my vetting? I have only done my medical over a week ago. And have found out I have passed that but how do I find out about the SMT scores? I know this post covets a range of topics so if anyone could give me any info on parts of it or all of it I would be eternally greatful........and be your friend for life

    I did my medical a couple of weeks ago for 1405. Got the pass letter a few days later and the all important call on Friday. I wouldn't go worrying about vetting unless you already know of something that could stop you in this. If you've lived outside the UK this may hold it up significantly. I was worried about mine because my credit rating isn't great but I was good in the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 coolhand50


    So there is no way of knowing how your vetting has progressed or passed? And in what way do you find out your SMT results? Or do I not and you just get the call?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 111 ✭✭ZeGerman


    No news is good news I'm afraid. The SMT is a formality, if you don't take drugs your in the clear.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 80 ✭✭Momc82

    Pretty much ready to send my vetting off, just a quick question, I wear glasses and I was wondering do I need to take them off for the passport style photo? I'm guessing you do but was just double checking, thanks!!

    They won't take your calls, you have to email them. I personally wrote unknown on my vetting forms.

    I probably have something from the last campaign lying about but I also applied a couple of times back in 2008-2009.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,640 ✭✭✭Homer01


    Some email hosts don't make it easy to delete so I've always found it easier just to leave them; especially on phones.
    Normally just delete the one's from my royal friends in Nigeria :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 68 ✭✭Sydnor87


    What address can I contact Deloitte on?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36 RTGeorge8910


    Anyone who has passed there medical heard anything regarding vetting? Any of your sponsors been contacted yet or anyone know the timescale when they pass you on vetting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 464 ✭✭shanevendrell


    Wondering if anyone could help me put my mind at ease here either by replying to this thread or through PM, either way i'd really appreciate it.

    Basically a few years back I was made redundant and with one thing leading to another i defaulted a few credit accounts. They roughly added up to 1000. Embarrassing I know but life happens eh? Recently I have settled the debts that I owed, and whilst they haven't been updated on my credit file yet, I technically owe nothing anymore.

    Can anyone who has passed or failed vetting either way on financial grounds help put my mind at rest. I have no CCJs, IVAs or been bankrupt and I believe 1000 of debt in this day and age to be quite minimal, but obviously this will still be frowned upon by those vetting me, so yeah like I said if anyone has any stories/help/reassurance either here or via PM, please help me out.

    Would be devastated to fail vetting for things that were out of my control years ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 475 ✭✭blueboat


    Does anyone have an address or contact number for supplemental information that has changed since vetting forms were posted a couple of weeks back?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25 El Ahrairah


    Has anyone had any joy in finding out whether they've passed the vetting stage? Would be nice to know that this box has been ticked. Had the medical results through a week ago but feeling a bit like I'm in limbo now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35 Barkly


    Ring recruitment, they'll tell you! I did very recently and was told it has cleared.
