Hi, I'd be grateful if anyone could give me some insight.
I've been given a provisional offer for a new role and I'm currently in the process of filling out the information for the security clearance. I've been asked to provide details of previous supervisors. I'm worried about them contacting one supervisor in particular as they screwed me over, I appealed against it and I'm worried she won't have anything nice to say. Does anyone know or have experience on the types of things they get asked about? Any specific questions that come up?
Please let me know if you have any information as it has me concerned.

They'll have to be honest if a Vetting Officer contacts them. Don't worry too much about it.

Thank you. I definiely will declare them. It just doesn't stop me from worrying what story they might try and spin.One terribly spun story shouldn't affect your SC application

I am in a similar situation bar I haven’t had a sticky situation with anyone thankfully. Is it the engineering apprenticeship by any chance?
Congratulations on the provisional offer though -

Mine doesn’t say much other than pre employment checks are in progress. I’ve had to send them a few forms about any criminal offences and a list of professional references and as far as i know they haven’t contacted any of them yet.
I don’t know if it would be different due to the different roles however.
I know DBS can take quite a few weeks though. -
