6 weeks and counting, starting to get not funny as can't really do the work I need to do without it, at what state does sanity trump billing?

Mine took 10 months, got the week I left!

It's a real hindrance as all meetings, including the programme board is in a restricted area, so finding it impossible to get looped in on anything relevant and raises any Risks.

Gonna give it to the end of the month, I've got two weeks off beginning of August and If it's not sorted I'll withdraw my application and then they'll can me there and then

We all got cleared (some of us eventually) in case we won some of the SC work we'd bid for, so there was no actual SC work. Doesn't sound right but it was a BIG company!

If they have any sanity at all they should be escorting you and allowing you to work under supervision. You can contact the DBS NSV helpdesk 01904 662644 or get your line manager to and shout at them to move it along.

Chased it on Monday, no chance at escorted supervision, it's all or nothing
