    I've just been offered and accepted the role, which makes this more frustrating, as I think the process can take 6 weeks
    I thought I answered that... except the police probably use different processes and criteria, as I also said.
    Blog? What blog...?

      Sorry, I'm not familiar with NVVP/BPSS etc. You mentioned BPSS includes basic disclosure, but is BPSS the same as NPPV?


      I've actually just completed the vetting forms and at no point did it mention any criminal background for me, only for friends/associates etc?

          Yeah that's not my point, everything I've read around this says just declare everything be honest and what will be will be, however there is nowhere in the forums to declare anything :S

            Why would you need to declare you criminal past to the police? Do you not think they will get it from their own data?

                  It may be, but you can only answer the questions on the form. As I said, different agencies have different criteria.

                  Anyway the police know your criminal history, and that of your mates. So what are they testing for, do you suppose?

                  BTW my NPPV3 came through in a week and was accelerated by the client since I was filling a very necessary role on an interim basis. It takes as long as it takes.

                      Vetting isn't to find out about your conviction, it's for them to be sure that you are honest, reliable and aren't open to blackmail/coercion.
                      You have to build a degree of trust with your vetters.

                      I've just checked your NPPV level 3, OP. Make sure you answer very honestly, especially if it feels uncomfortable. On that level they already know everything about you.
