Court after vetting - will this affect me?

Unanswered Question

My idiot of a brother has been taken to court for driving without due care and attention. I have my Day 2 in two weeks and vetting will be sent off after this. Will this affect me in anyway? I.E, delayed start date or my whole application being rejected because it’s something I didn’t declare?

Thanks

I would ring them and make them aware asap. It shouldn't affect your application providing you're upfront and honest. If you don't tell them of any changes they will likely take this as an integrity issue.

I assume you mean I need to call recruitment?

I’d you can’t find a contact number, drop them an email using the same address you used for the vetting documents. It shouldn’t cause you any problems, but still let them know ASAP

Ring then and make them aware - demonstrates your honesty quite well!

If it's a simple driving without fire care and attention the chances of it affecting you are close to zero - that's not really a high risk crime.

If he was in a stolen vehicle, or being pursued by police, or dealing drugs then they might look at it more closely!

Thanks. You mean I gotta call recruitment? If not, who is ‘them’?

Ring the special number. 4 clear taps with 2 second intervals between each on the phone. Wait for the prompt, “How is the weather in Cornwall?”. Then reply, “I lost my sandals to a jelly fish”. You have reached “them”. Good luck.

Yes - any department involved in the recruitment process - if they aren't the right people they will at least be able to point you in the right direction.

You need to declare social media accounts?
