Ok thanks, you mentioned about tracking, is that tracked mail, or just checking the status on your job management profile?

Also unsure about the medical but I don’t think so

Not got a date yet, I will email on email to ask if they haven’t let me know by then! I’m going to say to my job I can stay for longer if they want me to

My details were submitted to DBS on 29 May. I rang them on Monday (4th) and they confirmed checks completed and certificate issued that day. Sending 2nd class to RM. Received letter from DBS today, set up online account to confirm, and indeed it was all done on 4th. Just gotta wait for RM to receive the cert now and get back to me.

Great news, I have seen where people have started and then had an induction day afterwards, could be worth asking depending on how long you now have to wait for one to be arranged.

They take into account your notice period. I just handed mine in early
