I agree with the OP, 100% or the roles for my skillet are defence based, maybe there just isn't the call for missile control systems in the NHS these days

My cleared clients have been......
1. BNFL - Nuclear (obviously!) and weapons-grade err, stuff (it's all on internet anyway but I'm still not saying what it was) - I think I had PV there - was nearly 20 years ago and certainly wasn't like the SC process now....
2. C&W Worldwide - hosting, MOJ, Police, Boots (OK, probably not The Police) - SC
3. DVLA - Still don't know why really, car tax and V5's. Oh, and Tachonet, for Lorry Drivers SC
4. DWP - CMEC - i.e. what was CSA - SC
I'd be interested to know where my SC lies at the moment, I'm sure for the DWP gig the agent was so clueless about it - I was engaged as not needing SC, then it was needing SC and did I have it and we'll transfer it. Bet it never happened, I'm sure cos the agent was TekSystems....Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI loved the induction video up there. Long blasts go to safe area, short blasts go to nearest safety point and put on masks etc, continuous tone, run for it but it's too late already as you will have had a lethal radiation dose by that point. The guy putting his spanner down and legging it on the video was hilarious....
Conversely, the pilecap was such a serene place when the reactor was running, all nice and tidy, gentle hum from whatever it is that hums on a nuclear reactor.
Used to have to go up there often, the fuel channel inspection camera and attached PC was extremely flakey....
Did you see me last night on 10 stone gonads?Comment

Originally posted by stek View PostThat's covered by DPA tho surely, I was on the NHS Spine project and could potentially see patient records but SC wasn't required.Comment

Hell, about the only check that was made was the agency got a little ar8ey that my previous boss took his sweet time to come back with a glowing reference, but for all they know that reference could have been falsified, by which time I was already 2-3 weeks in, and had seen some pretty hairy data indeed.
It's par for the course in our profession to be entrusted with sensitive information, I pride myself on NEVER revealing it to anyone not authorised. Sadly, our clients are often less stringent than we ourselves.Comment
