BPSS check with a criminal record

[whatdo2019]

As I mentioned earlier this would be a matter for you to discuss with vetting, if you didn't fill in a change in personal circumstances form while the transfer went through when the conviction happened; be prepared for a very thorny session with a vetting officer and possibly a interview.

If this wasn't picked up at your new company who took on the SC then I'd be personally wary but if you haven't had any other convictions after the original posession charge then chances are you might be fine and just try and apply.

Only other thing I can think of is that the new company were prepared to take the risk assessment that you were criminally charged but otherwise you could be trusted, remember vetting doesn't ask us to be law-abiding angels (except if you are a goody-two shoes like me and run off to work with the police) it's about wherever or not they can trust you and that you are not a security risk.

Firstly, thank you for your time and replies. These are helping me get a better understanding of whats happening. So, I didnt declare it as a change of personal circumstance. All I did was sign a form that allowed them to re-check 'something'. I have not been trouble with the law since this has happened.

Am I right in thinking that the vetting 'place' is actually an agency/department hosted on the company site and I will be interviewed there and then? And it's at this vetting agencies discretion weather or not i should be hired?
