Hi there
7 years ago I was convicted under the Data Protection Act for obtaining and disclosing and fined £500 for each offence.
Potentially my new job will require SC Clearance which means I will declare the conviction on the form.
Is it safe to say due to the nature of the offence I will be declined SC immediately?
There is a story behind it of course which given the chance to explain would put it in to perspective but I feel that might be irrelevent for security clearence?
