I want to...
if its only a basic check thats required you can get it from [url=http://www.disclosurescotland.co.uk](Think it may even do an enhanced level disclosure)
I applied for this a month or two back and it only took two weeks to come through.....which was nice.
Cant see this info on the Security clearance FAQ thread (I've given a quick scan through and cant see it anyway)Comment

.......same kinda subject though. I think it should be in there, at least to immortalise me on the forum! lol!Comment

You will be if you keep dropping clangers like that lol. CRB doesn't need to be there. It doesn't (generally) cause much confusion and doesn't stop people getting contracts. SC clearance and above does so causes lots of questions.Originally posted by brocky View PostI stand corrected.
