Important Information Regarding the Vetting Process

As part of the vetting process, the BCH Vetting Unit may need to contact your current line manager to complete a Supervisor Appraisal. This requirement aligns with the 2025 National Vetting Guidelines (APP 6.5.18).

A Supervisor Appraisal may be necessary in the following situations:

When applying to transfer to another force
When renewing existing vetting clearance
When moving into a role that requires Management Vetting (MV), even if you currently hold MV clearance
When moving into or working in a role that involves close contact with vulnerable individuals

If any of the above apply to you, please be aware that your current line manager will be contacted for a Supervisor Appraisal once your vetting application is submitted.

Please note: This role has been identified as high-risk in relation to potential DNA and fingerprint contamination within forensic processes. As such, successful candidates will be required to provide a DNA and fingerprint elimination sample as part of their pre-employment checks.

The sample will be used to conduct a speculative search against our database and then solely for contamination elimination purposes and held on a secure elimination database in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR.

Provision of this sample is a condition of employment for roles identified as high-risk.

As you will be transferring to this force, in line with our PSD Biometric Policy, DNA and fingerprint samples will be required during the recruitment process.
