Hey my vetting has come back with refused that definately means I failed the vetting but they haven’t said why. Does this mean there’s absolute no hope of me being successful?

Hello.

Sorry to hear about the news about your vetting, with vetting its a minefield. especially with all the news at the moment of police vetting. it dose not always mean you have no hope, Best advice will be contact the vetting team to ask for feedback to see if they can tell you why , Bare in mind due to data protection they MAY not be able to tell you if it involves a family member

If vetting is refused but they do not give the reason why. This means that's one of your family members / partner is the reason for the fail. As they will always give you the reason unless it affects someone elses confidentially.
