Hi, I’m sure everything is fine, you will hear soon, try not to worry! I had a response to my email today....

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately we have not yet heard back from DBS regarding the result of your security check and therefore cannot yet discuss a start date.

A recent issue regarding the return of these checks has been resolved and we expect most outstanding checks to be returned this week.

We will be in touch as soon as we can confirm and arrange a start date with you.

So I’m taking it that it won’t be long now!

O wow at least you have a reply, I wonder what the problem with the checks has been and if that has affected us both? I haven’t heard back after sending them my certificate on Saturday,I might leave it until next week and then email for an update.
It’s just playing on my mind I think as work is getting so hard now having to give my job up and say goodbye to so many people. Thank you for all your help and support

Hi, no idea what the problem was but at least it’s resolved. We were probably both affected and that’s why it’s taken so long.

Your welcome, i understand what you are going through with all the changes and everything but you are so close now...I’m sure you will hear back this week....
