    If the tattoo isn't offensive or related to any kind of religious aspect it should be fine. Youll just have to wear long sleeved shirts the whole year

    Anyone got any tattoos they need to send in photos of? I have 1 rather large one I'm worried about now, obviously nothing offensive about it, and it would be covered with a long sleeve shirt
    Add your reply here.

    I have this problem to!! Guess we will be warm in the summer in our long sleeve shirts if we get in! Although I am seriously debating getting mine removed I'm just worried of the scar it will leave if I do as its medium sized.

    Hi folks, i am onto my second part of the vetting application. on page one its asking input details for sponsors information? also then thats "Sponsors must also complete pages 27 to 29. I take it this isnt a requirment for me to fill out?

    Thanks for any feedback folks..

    Right my lovelies! Had a few asking questions about these forms.

    In my opinion I'd declare EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! Any traffic offences, warnings, cautions etc. PSNI are very big on transparency, integrity and accountability. Declare it all in my opinion. They WILL know and they're wanting to see what you fire down on the sheet.

    Part 1 fill out everything. Part 2, anything that's supposed to be filled out by sponsors, ie section 2 on page 1, page 27, 28 and 29 leave blank, it's for the AC&V folk

    Fill in EVERYTHING. Use NA in all sections so they know you haven't accidentally left it blank. Last thing you want is vetting hold up cos someone wasn't sure if it's supposed to be filled out or not.

    Your photograph will be the one used on your ID card. If you've got a beard it needs to be trim and neat and you have to keep it, if you don't have one on your card, you can't grow one before GV. So much easier being a girl lol

    Hope that helps.
    :)

    Do we need to complete the financial bit near the end of the government questionnaire? It said its only required for SC not CTC but I'm not sure which one we are?

    Page 22 section 20 in part 2 yeah you do. Use the continuation pages to explain any debts or missed payments.

    Yes it would. Declare absolutely everything. Even if you think it looks bad, they just want to see how honest your are.

    Battling through these rightly, but struggling to think of two people to give as chacacter references that fill the requirements :( would a work colleague's partner be ok for one???

    I used two work colleagues as they had known me for five years. As long as you don't use your actual employer, colleagues are an acceptable reference.

    With regards to a colleagues partner, that should be fine as long as they are a professional person.

    Thank you! You start doubting yourself with everything you write don't you?! :(

    Anyone who you trust and consider a responsible person. Two friends perhaps??

    Hi, another tattoo question. I have a tattoo ring on my wedding finger that is covered when I wear the actual ring. Reason being I couldn't wear a ring in my current line of work. I know the state no tattoos on face, neck or hands. Could this be a problem??
    Thanks

    Yes. This tattoo will be open to scrutiny.

    The other option is go and get it removed with laser surgery and advise them of this on vetting forms.

    Not saying it will be a definite obstacle to you, but they really don't like hand tattoos.

    Just to clarify, we don't have to send or input any details of our ID anywhere? Mine is sealed but I'm doubting myself now lol

    I'm guessing question 2 about security clearance isn't answered by us? Like type of clearance required? SC or CTC?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10 Wild06


    Sent! That was intense. What ls the standard time frame for vetting to be cleared?

    There is no timescale. Everyone is different and requires a different level of vetting.
    They won't be able to give time scales unfortunately.

    I'm seeing squares lol think I've filled in my partners details when I didn't have to.. Will that matter?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Autumn sunset


    Stupid question alert!!! In the counter terrorist check do you tick or put an x in the boxes for 'yes' 'no' 'sex' etc

    I went for an x so it would fit completely inside the box!

    pardon my ignorance....could be a VERY silly question, or previously answered. The FIRST bloody question...im in both recruitment campaigns. how do I know which one they have sent the vetting forms and PCA date for? how do i know which UID to use? I feel like a right dummy here.
