Wee Weasley Welshman - If that happens, you may as well go to the police and hope for the best, because the terrorists will probably top your family anyway; either to cover their tracks or just for the hell of it!

ground hugger !

don't be so b****y rude, you are on a pilots forum, 99.9% of whom are level headed normal tax payers who see their considerable contribution to this country's tax system wasted by politically correct fools and stupid government 'initiatives' that are mearly there to employ some more people who all get pensions etc funded by the private sector, ie. you and me !

Would i be correct in assuming that the staff at 'disclosure scotland' are all squeaky clean then ?
What a complete farce that we have this 'system' and i bet if you go to most of the catering companies around airports they have illegal immigrants working for a pittance. We in this country are a laughing stock, we have no idea who is in the country and just for good measure those that do claim 'asylum' (read economic migrant) get £20,000 ish, so i think the fact that i have a paper telling me i have no convictions is rubbish.

One of the disqualifying offences for holding an airside pass is"Having an article with a blade or point on school premises" Better declare the old school geometry set eh?

Just had my Credit Card company on the phone, apparently DS have taken their £14 fee twice. (But I have not even got one certificate yet).

My companies advice is toapply at least 10 weeks before you
need the paperwork.

And you can apply online

Presumably direct from a cyber-cafe in Afganistan?

Its just another tax.

OK now does this make any sense to anyone

Because my job involves possible contact with the Old and the very young I have to complete an Enhanced Check (I have no problem with this I understand why). This has been done and I have recevied my Certificate from DS saying all is well.

The bit I don't understand is that I now have to complete a BASIC check, why is this when all the information has been provided for the Enhanced Check????????

I had to do one of these for a job as a kitchen hand in an old folks' home! It took FOUR MONTHS! And came out clean! This was with the ordinary CRB, not these mysterious Scotsmen, but the principle holds. Expect serious trouble if you have had a lot of different addresses...

Devil

.... and here's another stupid thing.

It's entirely possible to fail the Disclosure Scotland check and yet still get airside.

"Well how's that then ?" I hear you ask.

A). It's easy, all you need is a boarding pass !

Can't figure why the CRC takes up to three months in this age of IT. On the other side of the Channel, a CRC (called Extrait de Casier Judiciaire) done by the Justice Ministry is free of charge and takes... 14 to 20 days!

Just like the CAA, Disclosure Scotland are really quick at taking your money, much slower at doing their bit

The CRB (which covers England and Wales) were supposed to do the checks, but they can't cope. The police said all along they wouldn't be able to cope with the volume when they took over the checks from the police forces, but the CRB (using the same computer company that caused the Passport Office fiasco) said "No problem, we can manage....." since then, more wrongly issued criminal record checks than ever before, more people having their fingerprints taken to prove innocence than ever before, and more hold ups in clearances than ever before.

So, enter Disclosure Scotland........ who said they'd do it quicker and cheaper........
