Coventry warwicshire hereford and Worcester has now changed to application on hold it hadn't changed a couple of hours ago so they must be working on them over the weekend

Didn't someone up thread say that Birmingham and Solihull would be starting their sift on the 11th - which is today so maybe that status will be changing soon!! Hopefully we will be seeing some updates on competency statements soon which will give us some idea of whether we can hope for an interview or not

West Yorkshire scores should be posted over the weekend and people who have been selected for interview informed!

I've applied to West Yorkshire but it's still saying 'awaiting review' - hasn't even shown as 'application on hold.'

When do they look at the working locations forms? I was late emailing mine back (an hour after the deadline given) because I was ill in bed the day the email came through - 4 days after I'd submitted the application/test, not the 2 days promised! The guy on the helpline said it didn't matter but now I'm wondering...

I wouldn't worry about the working location forms. I know people who received them until after the requested return date and others who didn't receive them at all.
The recruitment team know there has been an issue.

Northwest where sifting last week and will be doing the remainder of this week.

Sifting is happening in Gloucs/West of England as we speak. Only those who got 80% or more are currently being sifted, no decision yet on if that will be lowered. If you fail the sift completely you are being notified, if you "pass" you will be put in rank order then the top howevermany will be given an interview.

Obviously i dont know what the sift pass score to get an interview is until the end of the sifting.

I applied for the North London vacs on the day the adverts were placed on the CS website. I have to say I've found this forum very helpful, it's almost like a support network lol! Hopefully London applicants will hear soon. It's soul destroying checking the feedback section and not seeing any change!
