That's very reassuring. Thanks for getting back to me. I have a telephone appointment booked for mid July which feels like eternity!


Thanks for the replies! makes me feel a little less worried hahah, im on 50mg sertraline and have therapy so hopefully it’ll be okay, i was just stressed as i saw in the police you have to be a years medication free so panicked it would be the same but hopefully we will all be fine! my call is early july so not toooo long to wait

hello, just an update my call went fine and took all of 10 mins, they were running late and didn’t call so started to panic but they rang in the end and said i’m mentally fit for work :smile:
Amazing! Thanks for the update. I feel way less concerned now. Congratulations and best of luck with your new job!

Fingers crossed for you then! Keep me posted as I'm intrigued by others experience of joining. Will fill my times as I wait. 🤣

I'm just second guessing everything now though for my vetting. My parents are both deceased, one in 2009 and one in 2014 but both had records as long as your arm and I didn't think to put anything in, as they have been gone so long and no question directed me there. Now I wonder if I should have?

Well I had no details for my estranged father and his new wife I have explained that they did request to try and get the details if I can which I partially did and they were OK with that . My dad has a record and it went OK. So fingers crossed for you will let you know . You should be fine as they are long gone

It's so frustrating, isn't it?!
Have you had your dbs sent to you? I've read on similar threads that people received theirs in the post... I haven't had mine yet but don't anticipate any issues. I had one but I had expired just before I applied for this job.

thankyou! congratulations to you, i haven’t got a start date yet it says expect a call so hopefully won’t be long before i do
I have applied for an OSG HMP Prison Job in London. I am currently going through the vetting process and it says my application has been referred for a decision to be made.
Is this normal?
I didn't ever see that message but I assume it means that the vetting process has finished and the powers that be have to decide the outcome.
There are lots of people on this forum that have had that message and then swap back to 'currently going through checks' so it's hard to know for sure.

Good news, just received an email that checks were completed successfully, and I just need to agree on a start date! I guess I was worried for no reason. Thank you for putting me at ease with this comment. Hopefully I enjoy my new role!
