    Well that's the IST officially closed. Just think we should have actually been getting our results today :( oh Well only 3 weeks until 8th. Hopefully they actually give results on the 8th and not at 16.59 on 12th as join psni just says the week beginning the 8th lol.
    There's no point getting too impatient about when the results will be released, it's going to be a long process. I'm just focusing on preparing for a possible assessment centre than worrying about how far away the results are.

    For me, the AC was the toughest but it's doable.  Just relax, talk and think and you'll be fine.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was further delayed or left until the 11th hour.

    Happy New Year to everyone. I tried to forget about the IST as much as possible over the Christmas period now I am starting to think about it again! Really hope we all hear at the start of the week and it doesn't get dragged out any longer.

    I just forgot about the IST and focused on preparing for the AC. Let's just hope it wasn't in vain.

    Yeah it's only a survey about how you thought the application form and IST was handled.

    Just finished the survery and it takes 2 seconds to complete, thankfully still mentions at the end of the survery we will be getting the results from the 8th, so at least that hasn't changed....... yet!!!!

    I’m actually really concerned that following the survey, if X amount of people say the test was poor/unfair they may make us all re-test again.

    This campaign is a nightmare.

    Please no more delays Deloitte.

    Don't worry mate, this survey is only used to give Deloitte an insight into the suitability of the IST and how it can be improved in the next campaign.

    I don’t know guys. I mean, outsourcing the police recruitment to Deloitte was to ensure fairness.

    To ask questions regarding the issue of fairness of the IST is a signal that they may have fallen short.

    They’re aware there are candidates who have attempted this test up to 3 times. While they may have been given different questions every time, it could be argued some candidates who had to repeat had unfair advantage due to practise opportunities etc. Could their be a legal challenge by someone who only sat the test once? I’ve no idea. I’m playing devils advocate.

    Personally, I thought the testing was fair. What I am concerned about is candidates latching on to the tech difficulties and derailing the process even further. Nightmare. Fingers crossed tho.

    As it is a legal requirement for all public sector recruitment to be open and fair process then yes you can argue that those that had an extra two and half weeks to to prepare for the test had a small advantage. Deloitte's problem would be if a bunch of people who did the test without difficulty missed the pass mark by a tiny margin then they could take an industrial tribunal.

    So here's the issue that they have, if they continue with the process whilst an industrial tribunal carries on, carry out AC, form merit pull and call folk to medicals. Industrial tribunal is won by the complainants then the merit pool is voided.

    All appoint able candidates at that stage are no longer appoint able because the process will have been deemed to not be open and fair and as such in contravention of the Police Act (Northern Ireland) 2001

    This is what I was thinking. I can see this falling apart. I really hope it doesn’t pan out this way.

    Personally I don't think they should have changed the head, neck and hand tattoo policy. Not that I disagree with tattoo, far from it. But everyone should be "uniformed" and not stand out from one another.

    So you feel that having some ink on your body affects your ability to Iron a shirt and trousers, polish boots, shave (keep a beard tidy), tie up hair (for females and longer haired gents)?

    You know rightly when I said uniformed I didn't mean clothing. Everyone should look exactly the same when in clothing nothing about them should make them stand out differently from the rest of the other constables working. No matter if that be tattoos, piercings or crazy hair colour (excluding us gingers of course lol).
    People don't have good memories, if someone wants to make a complaint etc and they can't remember who it was but they remember 1 cop had a tat that's the one they will report. Same reason UK forces only use shepherd breeds for general purpose dog work and even then they never use white ones because they stand out too much. Everyone should look exactly the same when in uniform.

    You are in a uniform

    Discriminating against non-offensive tattoos is like discriminating because of skin colour

    How does having mum tattooed on your knuckles affect your ability to be a police officer?

    Because it's grotesque?

    By that logic missing a finger is just as un-uniform. Just as "identifying"

    No they use Shepherd Breeds because they work and have a lot of excusive breeders for the services emergency and armed forces. If it's not broke why fix it?
