Reply to: Question regarding SC

[malvolio]

Oh, and no problem trying to answer questions of course...

But during the time of the checks, the clearance is still active, correct?

Perhaps...

There is one thing to remember: clearance is about risk assessment, nothing else. There are no hard and fast boundaries, and it is all totally dependent on the particular needs of the role. MOD and Police SC are comparable, for example, but weight various criteria differently; you can hold one and be refused for the other. So asking for yes or no answers is not going to work. And security is maintained by more systems than a piece of paper saying you have clearance for your role.

What will happen is the local SSO will read the form, do a couple of basic background checks and assess if the new partner represents a significant risk, then go from there. There's not a lot you can do about it, so don't worry, especially if the other half is basically a good security risk. And if they aren't there still isn't a lot you can do about it , although, as you suspect, you may well need a new gig.

Seriously though. I've read through some of the forms and no where does it mention you'd get taken off your tasks or anything would change. It just says a risk assessment would taken out and if needed the vetting process carried out. I'd imagine you'd just carry on as normal. In many SC environments you can work without it, you just have to be supervised and escorted so at worst that's what they would do but I can't see that mentioned anywhere.

Are you in the situation where the person you are living with may need extra attention? Foreign, got form etc? If not I can't see why they would suspend access just because you start living with someone.

Could depend on the role I guess as well.

No, she's a UK national with clean records, etc.

I can't help but think it'd cause chaos if sc was revoked every time someone moved in with someone, don't you think?

See, bants = an answer lol!!

You coming on the Leeds meet tomorrow? Brewery Tap on New Station Street, bring your wallet....

Unfortunately not, i'm gutted i'm missing the opportunity of meeting you!

[stek]

That was my thought as well, there seems to be no information at all stating that it's revoked whilst they check on the circumstances.

Thanks for the input!

A series is, informally speaking, the sum of the terms of an infinite sequence. The sum of a finite sequence has defined first and last terms, whereas a series continues indefinitely.

I did notice that error and thought i'd got away with it. Could say that was a *series* error of mine.

[northernladuk]

Brilliant. If possible, i'd really like a series answer on this...

I've got 104 friends actually. The friends thing on this site is gay.

Actually I've just remembered I do know the answer to your question, but I'm not going to tell you.

Wow, that's 104 poor souls.

Be that way!

You'll not get one now, the pile-on has begun....

It's traditional to be sensible in all forums but General, where anything goes. It's also traditional to prod the mods in the series forums until the ban hammer falls.

Join in, have a laugh and someone will take pity and answer, act like stuffed shirt (i.e. like you already have) and the piss taking will continue.

FWIW I don't know the answer, just enjoying the pile on....
