No, the only way you'll know if you've passed vetting is if you get a phone call with a job offer. No one on here seems to have failed vetting as of yet so we're not sure on procedure if that happens.

Or sometimes they do ask for more information...

Yeah but even if they do it still doesn't mean you've passed yet. In the old campaigns before the freeze you used be able to phone and check if it had cleared yet but unfortunately we can't do that any more. Really the only way to know if you've cleared vetting is when you get a call I guess.

Hey people, got word back about my query regarding salary. Should hopefully put a few minds at ease

'I can confirm at this moment in time the salary will be £23,259 as advertised for campaign 1 candidates'.

At least you're not worrying why folk with lower scores have been requested extra info from AC&V and you haven't :-/

Haha I know..but they knew I had only completed 1/5 of the remaining stages so hopefully it's true for all campaign 1 candidates.

No, they're only for if they want further information if they don't have enough to go on or want a bit more explanation on something. The most common thing they seem to ask for more of is information relating to your financial history. The phrase seems to be "no news is good news" so don't panic if you haven't heard from them, it doesn't necessarily mean anything and they could be happy with the information you first provided in your vetting forms.

Oh and congrats on passing the medical/final hurdle!

I sent my vetting in March, two days after they received my forms I got an email asking for further information about my partners natural father (additional details sent back via email). Then on 29th April I got another email asking for written confirmation from my local council that I had surrendered my personal alcohol licence.

Guys and girlies I'm off now, can't do the over analysing and comparing my application to someone else's and stressing cos I haven't heard from AC&V and others have. Good luck to you all, I'll miss the craic and banter that's for sure. I'll be thinking of you all in a couple of weeks

Has anyone below 70 got the call yet?

Clanman889

Not sure about that buddy but I emailed vetting today and they confirmed my vetting is still ongoing. I sent it in mid march. Anyone know if there has been a single person enquire and told that their vetting has cleared. I'm wondering if there's a blanket answer given for all queries as this would cover them discovering any potential new info on you right up until you get the call. Just haven't heard a person say theirs was confirmed cleared ever on here

Nope, got 68. Hopefully hear start of august, but part of me thinks might have to wait longer than that!

Willow89

Nope although I haven't contacted them I know of a few people who have been told that theirs hasn't cleared. I'm 68 and waiting! We should do an updated list of where everyone is!

I'm 71%

Some advice please folks. Got my second IST coming up and not sure if there's any merit in going ahead with it or not as I'm sitting with a 77% AC score and only vetting left to clear for the 1309 campaign. I know some of us applied again to cover ourselves but I really feel that they wouldn't have recruited again if there wasn't enough spaces for all of us still waiting and more. Anyone have any thoughts on whether it's pointless going through it all again in this scenario?

in my case (in sure others are in the same boat) there was no point in me reapplying, simply because the only thing that will kick me out of the 1309 campaign is vetting which would come back exactly the same if i reapplied and got to that stage again.
