You'll get standard, then. Nothing to worry about; as long as you haven't got caught doing any crimes.

Enhanced can be more dodgy because it can include contacts with the police where there wasn't any conviction...

Oh right thanks x

Mine took 4-6 weeks. You can't start until you have passed and provided you pass it doesn't really matter if you miss your start date. The alternative would be to redo the whole recruitment process which would take a lot longer.

Mine for the NHS took a few days. If you make a note of the reference number on the form then you can check online as to where it is in the process. I checked mine just a couple of days later and it said it had been posted to me already.

By the way I just looked and mine says it's an Enhanced Certificate.

Wow that was really quick! I don't have the reference number or anything as mine is being sent to the employer not me xx

Was yours enhanced or standard out of interest? x

The certificate should be sent to you and not to the employer even though the employer sent it in. They used to get a copy too but now you have to take it to the employer to show them.

For anyone else, when you fill the form in take a note of the number on it for checking online as to where it is in the system.

I didn't even know they were taking on! Where are the jobs advertised?

I have no idea as I was sent for it by my job centre advisor, they have been extremely mysterious about the whole thing!
