    Has anyone got an any idea how long it usually takes vetting to clear? I just rang recruitment and they said they haven't received a reply from vetting for me yet. So now I'm stressed again! Lol

    Depends on individual circumstances. When did you do medical? Maybe SMT results haven't been returned yet. SMT is part of your vetting

    Not sure I haven't enquired about that. I had assumed the smt was part of the medical outcome though?

    I'm not 100% but I was made aware it was separate and you only hear about the SMT if you've failed.

    I checked with recruitment and my SMT was back but Vetting is still outstanding. Bit frustrating not being able to judge what the timescales will be on that. Hope I'm not in for too a long wait.

    I'm in the same boat...still waiting on vetting to come through but everything else checked off. I think this is the hardest part so far, not knowing timescales or being able to do anything to move things forward.

    Vetting is something a time frame cannot be applied to.. I got the all clear when I rang 2 weeks ago. The only thing on vetting worried me tho was the 2 tattoo's but they were all good... ano it's a pain not knowing but the saying goes no news is good news

    My vetting had cleared by the time I got my medical and Smt result. Did you check experian to see if the credit check was completed?

    You have to sign up. The first month is free but remember to cancel it off or it will charge after the month.

    I sent my vetting forms away in May and mine is all clear now.

    I think I sent mine at the beginning of may also, still not clear, although I do have 2 addresses so maybe that's holding it up.

    Check for any credit searches completed outside the norm of insurers/credit card applications etc

    I have 3, all in different UK Police Forces and I'm already in a different force. It's a shame they don't give out more info of what stage you're at. This is the first time in the process I've not had a date to aim for...

    I had the search show up on my file a while ago and my vetting is still outstanding. I'd heard that it was one of the final stages of the vetting process...not so sure it's that reliable of an indicator anymore!

    I couldn't find any info on the experian site of any credit checks being done, but I do now know my credit score is excellent! Haha
    I'll be calling again next week to check.. heard November could be the first intake.. could have to do my pca again by the time I get a call!

    I think we scored around the same at the accessment centre tackleberry. I really hope we don't have to do it again! Lol my throat was in bits after it.

    I was 67%
    I had a chest infection for 2 weeks after it! Was well within the time though so I can cool the beans a bit if I've to do it again.

    When did you do your medical? It's valid for 6 months from date of completion so if intake was November then would still be within time limit surely as I thought Medicals for the 1509 didn't happen until July?


  • #3490
    Tackleberry1
    Registered Users Posts: 202 ✭✭Tackleberry1


    Pca was end of June medical was end of July. I doubt I'd be in the first intake and if they're on a 5 week turnover it could be December or after depending where I am on the list. December being my 6 month expiry for pca. I don't mind would just rather not have to.

    Im in the same boat (66%) and vetting not cleared yet so emailed vetting last night and they replied straight away this morning stating there was 'no general delay in (my) vetting and it will be completed in due course'. Just seems like they may have done a certain number/batch, perhaps those maybe in the 1st intake; and hopefully we'll be done next....hopefully!! :) It dont feel i have anything to worry about why it hasnt come through yet other than it just hasnt been done yet.

    It's about a week after the medical that they should have the SMT results.

    Tricop, where did you get the e-mail contact for vetting? Would like to chase mine up for some peace of mind!
