Timetravel

Just thought I would make a thread for us still waiting on vetting as most people in the main thread are waiting on the call now.

Edit: meant those with a score below 60 who have only completed IST and AC

Cheers Drummer64, still on going. Passed medical last week so hoping vetting isn't too much longer and can get the ball rolling a bit!

Drummer64

More vetting passes next week she said

shanevendrell

More vetting passes or more dates for medical?

Drummer64

101 then ask for recruitment . I just called but no luck yet, said more coming through next week

Hi

Can anyone post the number to contact for vetting/recruitment please?

shanevendrell

They don't really have any choice other than to turn them around quickly as the sub 60 scorers will likely be in the September/October intakes.

Anyways, final nail in the coffin of the myth that you need to pass your medical/SMT to pass vetting.

letsdoit2013

That is a very quick turn around guys !

I'm just off the phone with recruitment and they confirmed that I passed my vetting

. My medical is in the next few weeks. You've no idea how relieved I am.

Just for everyone saying I was in the 55-60 bracket also and returned my forms roughly about Feb

Pumba91

Yeah middle of Feb I returned the forms, medical only done last week

MayDupname

Just to be clear, like myself, you’re all in the 55-60 bracket that sent vetting papers back ~ 2 months ago? They seem to be getting through the vetting pretty quickly then!

Johannes_Cabal

I contacted them just after my medical was passed also and was told my vetting had been completed.

Pumba91

I contacted them last week after my medical and they replied saying I had passed the vetting checks…assuming that means everything but for some reason there's still a part of me not sure

Has anyone contacted recruitment to see if there vetting has cleared yet? I haven’t bothered yet as I know it’s still quite early, plus my medical is a few weeks away yet.

I did recently and it wasn't cleared yet. Will try again before medical.

What are they saying when you speak to them? There has to be some sort of explanation.

either its "processing" or "ongoing" and then they just say they can't put a timescale on it as everyone differs, which is fair enough but there's literally no reason why mine shouldn't be passed. I've no tattoos, convictions, credit was good enough to get a mortgage, currently married to a serving PC.

I feel your pain PCWannabe. I hope it get's cleared soon for you. The process is a shambles and my PCA is expiring next month too with extension. I've a wedding in the Summer and if i'm lucky enough to get the call I've resigned myself to at best have one day off for it and a honeymoon next year.
There's a hell of a lot of input from candidates from start to finish, it's so frustrating. Really do have my fingers crossed for you.

sorry for ranting. I have tried for so long to remain positive about it

I know you probably know this but having read back through every page of the vetting thread 9-12 month vetting periods used to be the norm for lots of candidates.

That said, it would drive me insane seeing other below me getting in first and id likely be pestering them for answers too.

its very frustrating as I've held that level of clearance before and it took less than a month for it to come back. Its giving me some hope that it was the norm and there have been/is others in my predicament however if I don't get a call for the next intake that's my PCA and medical expired (even with the 4 month extension) and I'm not putting myself through the stress of redoing the PCA so will be withdrawing from the process.
I've put a lot of my life on hold for his (as have most) but changing my wedding date and holding off for an indefinite period for my honeymoon is a step too far for me and I think its unreasonable for recruitment to expect that from people. I taken as much as I can with this complete shambles of a process. So many people have told me "its a test of your patience" and "if you can't wait/redo your PCA then maybe the job isn't for you." Perhaps those people are correct. Its a shame.

My referees weren't checked and there was no credit check so don't read too much into that.

Vetting is one the parts we are powerless to affect. Hang in there; people have waited 12+ months with no particular reason.
Just keep in contact with recruitment

Not a thing has been done on my vetting (credit check, referees contacted) and my forms were sent back last summer! People currently in GV with a lower assessment day score than me. Furious doesn't come close to describe how I'm feeling. I've no criminal convictions either so literally no reason I can think as to why it's taking so long. Feels like I've wasted almost 2 years of my life and a ton of money ensuring that I was fit enough to pass PCA and every other stage to be let down by the vetting dept.

That's awful! How did you find out? What are they gona do?

Hi,

Anyone that has had their PCA done a few weeks ago and has a scheduled medical know if their vettings passed yet? Or still a bit early?

Haven't checked mine yet but I was reading the forum yesterday and it looks like the vetting can be completed before the drug testing even though it is still part of vetting. So maybe worth a chance?
