Ahh. I’ve seen the nppv1 form as where I work, people had to fill them in about their selves before working in a police station.
He’ll fill it out on your behalf but usually it’ll ask for any convictions/cautions within a certain time, after 13 years it’s shouldn’t be an issue
So I don’t need to declare it?
Ok, thank you for your help. He’s not at that stage yet (which I think is the final one?) I didn’t realise he could refuse vetting- I thought they did it automatically? If I knew I could tell him and not get my parents involved, it would be ok, but they will want to be fully involved in it all!
The forms only ask for the names, DOB and addresses of your immediate family (including step relations), rather than specific questions about them.
Thank you. I’ve been fraught all day thinking about it.
No you can't contest it unfortunately but no it wouldn't be obvious that someone hadn't been honest. They ask lots of other questions relating to driving fines/offences, in depth financal evaluation etc so it could be literally any part that causes the failure.
Ok I guess that’s something for me to think about. Though he’s as straight as a die, so there’s no dirt on him.
No, the friend wouldn't have access to any of the vetting outcome info. The whole process is confidential.
You can have a flexi working pattern because of childcare and being a single parent. It’s them who have to have a business case to deny your pattern request, not all roles roles are early mids and lates. There are compressed hours and job shares as well. The job has moved on leaps and bounds in regards to accommodating flexible working. You also can’t be forced to work overtime unless it’s force immobilisation.
He should really declare your caution, it shouldnt cause an issue, however him knowing about it and not declaring it could. If he doesn’t know, then maybe it won’t. It’s only a shoplifting after all.
If you are interested in going into intelligence research or analysis, generally that is a civilian staff role and you don't need to be a police officer. Though (in my region) those roles require some prior knowledge of intelligence/the systems involved, so the best route in is through roles in systems/IT/compliance.Thank you @thatstupidcat for your views, I was expecting some negative advice and I do appreciate it as I find it keeps me grounded
Intelligence/analytical roles are more where I want to be I think, especially as my degree will be in cyber security... I was considering police officer as a way in. I wonder how different NCA is - civil service but I have worked in DWP and know the red tape
He doesn’t know about it. Nobody knows about it.
If it was 13 years ago and you never did anything since, most likely your record will have been deleted. They don't keep your criminal records indefinitely, there are time limits depending on the type of crime and the sentence. A caution won't still be there after 13 years.
This is rubbish. I have been vetted at a much higher level. No one can ask for family details. What utter nonsense!
You're wrong different sectors focus on different aspects, police do ask about family, friends, boyfriends/girlfriends. Financial sector not so much, but do delve deeply into your financial history. Having clearance, for police, cabinet office and Bank of England, I can attest to this.
Thanks for you random reply. It's not "utter nonsense" at all. The forms do indeed ask for details of your family members.
