Its amazing how much it seems to vary time wise for different individuals. I do wonder if in some areas the induction days aren’t run that often, so you have to wait for one of those to be planned. I think I’m a mere 10 working days since my checks were submitted, two status date updates but nothing else.

I think you might be right! I just had an email saying that I have passed the security checks but that they are currently waiting for a suitable induction course for o be made available and to let them know if my notice has changed. I emailed back saying that I finish work on the 18th as I handed my notice in already.

Hope you do Jacko. I’m just a few days into the dbs check, but hoping the recent ‘issue’ they had in receiving the certs from dbs are sorted and things happen a bit quicker.

Yay, they gave me a start date this morning and handed in my notice at work not long ago, I start in a couple of weeks time, the joys of still being on probation. They take you of after working there for a year and I've been there for around 10 months or so. That means I can only give my work a weeks notice

Seems like the dbs is sorted and going much quicker now then.

Congratulations mate. Wish I knew when I was starting but I leave my job on the 18th so who knows I could end up with a 2/3 week holiday haha
