Security Screening/Vetting
Your potential employment within the security industry is dependent on security screening. This is done following the rules of British Standard 7858.

To ensure that the integrity of each applicant is of a suitable standard to work in a position of great trust, we will need to check either for the last five years or back to your completion of full time education if that was less than five years ago.

In completing the application form you must give as much detail as possible. We will confirm your education history and employment history on a continuous month-by-month basis.

We will contact each of your previous employers and educational establishments within the time period as stated above.

We will need to contact your current employer before we are able to complete 5 year screening. Permission to do so is a condition of the offer of conditional employment. If such permission is withheld this offer will be withdrawn if the security screening is not concluded satisfactorily.
Previous employment should be detailed as follows:
• Date of start and finish of employment months and years
• Name of line manager and your position within the company at the time of leaving
• Full name and address of company
• Full telephone number of company

It is important to detail each job that you have had no matter how short the contract. In the case of working through an agency it is necessary to give only the agency name, address and contact.
In the case of unemployment or gaps in employment:
Where you have registered as unemployed, please enter these details as you would an employer, as instructed in the ‘Employment History’ section of this application if you received DWP payments you may be requested to supply statements during your pre-employment vetting. Where you have been unemployed and have not registered with an employment service office, please nominate a character referee who is not related to you and can verify by knowing you at the time that you were unemployed for the dates shown. Please supply name, address and telephone number. You must seek permission from the character referees sought, as we will email them to confirm the information you have supplied.
Previous education should be detailed as follows:
• Name, email and telephone number of School/College/University. • Date of start and finish of education at each in months and years. • The qualifications you gained.
Character referees:
Please nominate one person WHO HAS KNOWN YOU FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS immediately prior to the commencement of the screening process. The character reference should not be a previous employer, relative (by blood or marriage) and/or person residing at the same address as you. This person should not be related to you but may be a current or previous colleague.

• Full name, address and postcode
• Full telephone number
• Length of time you have known the character referee
Financial History
From 1st January 2007 all applicants have to undergo a financial history check in accordance with screening and vetting BS 7858.
Global Background Check
The Company will conduct a Global Background Check with a recognised body to identify any persons that have had their assets frozen or are highlighted as a risk to national security as part of the requirements as pre vetting under BS7857 regulations.
Conditional period of employment
After gaining references to confirm your occupation for the previous five years we may offer you a position on a conditional basis whilst we are checking the remaining references. This period will be for no longer than twelve weeks.

Failure to meet the security screening standards of the company will result in the termination of your conditional employment.
Criminal offences
As part of our security screening process we ask you to declare any previous criminal proceedings you may have had taken against you. Please give full details.

We would point out that the company complies with the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 stating that convictions that have been ’spent’ must be ignored.
