Security Clearance question

Hey, I found this forum through doing some research into getting an SC for a new job and have a question im hoping someone can answer for me.

Although I have concerns about my SC because of my debt history im more concerned that on my CV I didnt included a job which I was fired from (gross misconduct). This job was about 3 years ago, after this I was in a job for 2 and half years. Now obviously I will have to declare it in the SC if I decide to go ahead however im more concerned that the potential employer will see the forms? So the question is, will my potential employer get copies of these forms to see because obviously if this is the case there is no point me going forward?

Cheers
 
Just fill in the SC forms and tell the truth and see what happens. It's only an investment of an hour or two of your life...

Bit if you don't fill it in, you won't get the clearance nor the gig. Guaranteed.
 
You don't need to declare it if the Police weren't involved, they aren't bothered by finances either.

DV includes a financial check, SC doesn't.
 
I've had SC for 10 years, I was DV'd for a couple of those and that was the only time I had to provide any financial details.

Security Check (SC) or (SC Cleared) is required for people who have substantial access to SECRET or occasional controlled access to TOP SECRET assets. The following security vetting stages comprise a full SC clearance:

* Baseline Personnel Security Standard (Which is normally undertaken as part of the recruiting process)
* Departmental / Company Records Check
* Security Questionnaire
* Criminal Record Check
* Credit Reference Check
* Security Service Check

On completion of the vetting process, the information collected is assessed and a decision made to refuse or approve a SC clearance.

DV has a separate financial questionnaire, you don't need to provide any info on the SC form.
