What are Security Checks??

Post by mrtuk28 »

Hello Just a quick question really...
I was put on the 3months waiting list from interview assessment etc...
I found another role within the 3months window recently and applied via the waiting list route email.
I was called by the depot asking if I was interested and of course I am :nana .
The manager stated it should take up to 10 days to complete.
I received an email saying security checks are taking place etc.. I can check my status if I login...
I login and it says processing security checks after 1 week now since my phone call?
What exactly do these security check check for taking 10 days???
Is it the CRB check thing??
My Mrs works with mental health and said for a CRB they need to you to fill in a pink form which she has to do annually.
I know I filled in a lot of forms for the application and supplied lots of information but can't remember a pink form?
So if it isn't a CRB what is it?? I'm confused :crazy: !?!?
I'll pass a CRB cause I'm a good boy lol

It's for a 6months Postman job with driving 25hours plus overtime

Yes its a CRB check but its not the enhanced one that your partner probably has to go through every year, its just a basic check.
