Anyone had any further progress ?
My status changed to ‘pre-employment’ checks on 23rd May, so hoping to get my DBS letter through the post soon.

Hi, my status date changed on the 23rd so I’m hoping to hear about a start date any day now. My letter took 19 days from that date but I think it depends on the police force who give the information to DBS on how long it takes, I’m not sure! Apparently dbs had some issues as well so hopefully it won’t take to long for you

Hi, yes mine has changed in the same way on the same dates. I think it means someone from HR has updated your application in some way, but you have no way of knowing what or why. I think its progress though in that we’re edging closer to a start date.
