SC Clearance as new(ish) resident
Hi,
Posting here to not cause clutter threads.
There's a position going that requires SC clearance where the client is willing to sponsor. However the client seems under the impression that I need to have been a UK resident for over 5 years. I have not been able to find this requirement anywhere, does anyone have any more info for either the client to show that's not the case or for me to show that this is indeed so?
Edit: I was able to find this Get Security Cleared - Security Cleared Jobs (and even that states generally) but have not been able to find it confirmed anywhere else / on the gov.uk websites, neither has the agency.
Thanks!

I had SC a decade ago, but it expired.
My question is, is there anyway to ask for progress update as an applicant?

NorthernLad if you can add these to the sticky on the front page of the thread I'd be grateful:
Certes guide to SC vetting alongside other vetting levels
Overview of SC vetting
Important Notice about Police vetting
All staff and contractors have to undergo vetting under the ACPO vetting framework, this is a separate vetting system done outside of the UKSV by the Police Force themselves, an example would be a person who has undergone clearance with MOD won't be allowed to join the Police force until they are cleared & authorized by their relevant police force.
Metropolitan Police
Metropolitan Police vetting deviation from the standard ACPO vetting
Metropolitan Police vetting standards
Note: Current Metropolitan Police policy states CTC clearance is needed on for the vast majority of their sites, be warned even if you have SC with Management Vetting, you will still need to undergo CTC vetting for joining the Met Police
Rest of UK Police Forces (Normally done by Warwickshire Police Vetting Unit)
Police National Contractors Vetting Scheme
Vetting SLAs for clearance done by Warwickshire Police
Warwickshire Police Vetting Unit Portal
Management Vetting and Enhanced Management Vetting for those that join Police forces as fixed-term contractors or temporary staff
Note: All police staff working in areas with police marked materials which of a sensitive nature will be required to undergo Management Vetting
FYI: Please note all of these links are on the public domain and free to view by the general public (Before I have someone hit me on the head for disclosure) also note policy can change over a period of time also vetting is done by a case by case scenario so if you hear deviations from what is posted here be aware it is at the discretion of your vetting officer on matters regarding personal issues that might otherwise affect vetting.Leave a comment:
