Indeedy - when you apply, the agent's first question will be "Have you got SC?" If the answer is no, then, unless it's a very niche skill, you're unlikely to get out of the starting blocks.Comment

PCG page on SC mentioning that it isn't illegal but against guidelines. Also has the mail address for reporting recruiters that are not following the guidelines.

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostOn what basis is it illegal? It certainly goes against the guidelines issued by the Cabinet Office, but I've not seen any legislation which makes it illegal not to put certain candidates forward for a role.
A little like the Tories promising to stop offshoring, then the following week doing just that and making the excuse 'we meant that for current requirements, not future ones'
It seems in their haste to jump on someone who is 'wrong' you all missed the point of the post which was the joke in the second sentence, if you look up, you'll see it as it goes over your headComment

Originally posted by tractor View PostOK so I went overboard, I was under the impression that it was against the law. If it's not going to be regulated, why even bother with guidelines, it's a little like the platitudes the last government and this gives about giving contracts to small businesses.

Security Clearance will never be enshrined in law, it makes it too inflexible and limits rapid change to the criteria applied in a changing world. But the Cabinet Office is a pretty powerful body; you really don't want to upset them.Blog? What blog...?Comment
