How you know its a basic check and not a standard or enhanced type of application?

it stated it somewhere - can't remember where on the form sorry - but i only completed as a basic check and it all came back ok.

Ok cheers for that!

1 last q....Do I need to send forms of ID as well (utility bill, bank statement) AND my P60/P45'S/Certificates??

It says I need to send P60/P45'S/Certificates on a separate sheet but what about forms of ID? that says in the booklet??

What do I send? and How long did your crb check take to come back?

Well finally got the phone call this morning after 3 months. 4 weeks after being told I was successful. This was for a permanent position as AO within JCP. But was informed on the telephone that it is now going to be on a 18 month fixed term contract, Iam grateful for a job but at the same time feel a tad !!!!ed off having gone through all the rigmarole under the impression of being offered a permanent position that they move the goalposts and offer a fixed term. The job is based at cobalt park in Newcastle. Anyone else had any experience of this.

Re these phone calls, do they tend to ring mobiles or landlines?

Just an update.

Rang the helpful people at Newcastle today. Was told that you are only put on a waiting list when all the positions are filled. So if you are successful but others score higher than you, they will take preferance as long as background checks are A-ok!

I have been told I am successful, but haven't been informed about a waiting list yet, probab;y becase all the background checks haven't been completed.

Also, if your CRB comes back to you in a brown envelope, that means the DWP have seen it!

Cheers

I've already got a copy of a Basic Disclosure from the 'Disclosure Scotland' website - I paid around £20 to have a check done back in January. If I'm successful in my application can I use this same form or would I be forced to fill out another application?

Obviously my preference would be to use the existing one as, by the sounds of it, a lot of time would be saved.

Hey Joe,

Miscommunication there. My letter told me i was successful and did not mention a waiting list but after a recent call to Newcastle they informed me that everyone goes on a waiting list in the manner i previously stated.

I was told that people are put on a waiting list pending checks. When all checks are complete, people who recieve letters telling them that they are on a waiting list are those where there are no positions currently available.Does this make sense?So in theory, everyone is indeed on a waiting list, but you shouldn't receive a letter stating that you are on a waiting list unless all your checks have come back ok, but there are currently no positions for you.I was told that I will not be informed that I am on a waiting list unless all the positions are filled before they get to me.

This can't be true as I've had a successful letter saying I'm on a waiting list and none of my checks have been done yet!!!

I get the impression that they seem to send out a letter with whatever template they can get their hands on first.
