    And you mention bringing it up in a meeting, I wouldnt have one would I? I thought its just a form then send off and have a decision and if any questions then maybe a meeting?
    I've just been through this. In my case, the hiring manager saw my CV, with one small gap - a contract I can't be bothered to include as I was only there about three weeks before leaving.

    Another team within clientco dealt with the SC, during which I detailed ALL contracts from the last 'x' years.

    The hiring manager would not have had sight of my SC details.

    The fact that you were fired from one of the positions is, as another poster said - probably irrelevant. State the dates you worked there on the SC forms, and they will validate that with the employer/agency. As police weren't involved, I doubt it will actually be an issue for your SC clearance, and the hiring manager therefore won't find out there is a discrepancy on your CV.

    Don't be tempted to lie on the SC forms though.
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
