    You mean DBS don't you?

    If you are on remand it won't show up as you haven't been convicted yet.

    Also your bank statements will show you have been in the UK (or some other agreeable country) instead of in a terrorist training camp.

      No, it shows that somebody with access to that account (e.g. joint account holder) is at liberty in the UK (or other agreeable country)

        Why are you just trying to put blockers up all the time?"In that case maybe it's not so good. So what do you suggest? Scrap it? It's just one thing in an arsenal of checks. Why can't you see the bigger picture?

            I had a 3 monther at BT a long time ago.

            I left around 7 years later.

            Late starts, cheap breakfasts/canteen and a lovely gym all packed into a 7 hr day. Those were the days.

            Polishing a turd near you!!

              Ah yes, but it's a phone company - what's the car parking like?

                I worked for BT on a 2 month contract and had a similar onboarding experience.

                I needed to be sc cleared just because there was a team looking at live customer data in the same room as me, even they were 100 feet away. Not only that, I had to use an iris recognition device just to enter the office.

                Good contract though.

                  Previously contracted through Experis and found them to be a decent agency and always settled invoices on time - wasn't asked for bank statements, although the end client wasn't BT.

                  Never ever been asked for bank statements for a gig anywhere actually - the usual proof of ID and address in the form of Passport / Utility bills etc but never bank statements. Wouldn't produce them either, none of their business.
