Originally posted by northernladuk View PostAlso, Mal needs to clarify this but even if you held SC at a previous gig it isn't a given it's transferrable. SC should exist with the gig not the person or something like that so even if you had it in the past it's not a guarantee it's available for the next one. Mal words it better than that but it's another argument they can bring up to obfuscate the situation.
But yes they're initial reply basically says that. Its not guaranteed, you can't rely on it. Basically, if we **** up then its tough titty.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

So why throw this stupidity in and derail what must be the first post this year that might actually stay in prof forums? Just no need.

Its a grey area but I think most people, agencies included, work on the premise of "have you had SC within the last 12 months?" If so then good to transfer it.

The one year doesn't exist, it is merely a convenient practice. You could still get binned anyway if your clearance doesn't fit the new role.
And if the previous SSO has no record of your clearance for whatever reason you don't have clearance.
And I've told you this at least twice....Blog? What blog...?Comment

As for due diligence, I had a letter from 2017 telling me I had clearance. I tried all ways to tell BEIS, that "look I've got this letter with this persons name on, whats happened to my SC?" BUT as you know things move slowly.
At this point their team would have said we can't find it and you could have started down this rabbit hole before you'd even left the client.
When I say diligence I mean covering your own arse so you are fully aware of the situation for when you leave. Keeping your house in order even if theirs isn't if you get me.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

BUT you've got to admit, an agency will call you for a new role and ask "So do you have SC thats been used within the last 12 months?" On the basis of your answer being yes then they will put you forward on the basis that you have existing SC.
I appreciate what you're saying, but, from personal experience only, if you get the role its a case of transferring. I get that your clearance might not fit the new role but how often does this happen?
I get that this is maybe not the way the system should work but thats what happens in practice?Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

If you got it in 2017 then it'd have expired after 5 years anyway wouldn't it, so you'd have needed to reapply this year anyway.Comment
