Should I have been honest about my conviction?

Personally I would look for another job outside the SC area so I would never have to disclose it and resign while keeping my mouth shut.Comment

One of the reasons that people tend to fail getting clearance is the fact that they don't come clean about things - because if you aren't prepared to tell your employer about it then that potentially means that you are a blackmail target.
The fact that you hid the conviction may imply to anyone doing an SC check that this is something that you are embarrassed about, and wouldn't want getting out into the open with your employer (essentially, what you have done) - and that could well set the alarm bells ringing with the security office when you come to renew.
Good luck with the job hunt.Comment

Originally posted by SimonMac View PostDepends on the renewal process, if you are asked have your circumstances changed then say yesYeah tbh this is my backup plan if I do fail the SC renewal. However I've been looking at other industries and I'm finding it hard to relate my role to anything outside of my industry which is why I'm a bit worried about it. Il send an anonymous email but I guess in the meantime il stay quiet until it comes time to renewing my clearance. If it comes up on the form to disclose spent convictions then I'll go ahead and list it and see what happens.

Would the employer be informed on the reasons why SC is not given? I would have thought not. There are all sorts of reasons to fail it, none of which are sackable.
Just check that the process isn't seen by the employer and consult a lawyer.
If you fail SC just shrug your shoulders, you don't need to do anymore I don't think.
Generally the advice stands from the lawyer that you are not necessarily obliged to to tell them about convictions.I'm alright JackComment
