The challengeThe process of attaining security clearance comprises of:

� 3 forms of Identity (through full name, nationality, signature, date of birth and full permanent address) The difficulty can lie in the individual having all the necessary ID of which the hard copies must be verified.

� Employment History and supporting references (past three years) This can be problematic as Vetting require specific dates on the BSVR reference pages which can only be original wet signed copies.

� Nationality and Immigration Status including establishing the Right to Work in the UK

� Unspent Criminal Conviction Record (Disclosure Scotland Certificate) this can take over two weeks to arrive once applied for and the original certificate must be included in the pack.

� A clear substance abuse test must be attained which must come from an approved substance abuse test centre.

� Declaration of unemployment including personal references and Job Centre letters where necessary

� Declaration of time spent overseas and any accompanying police certificates for periods longer than 6 months spent outside the UK. If someone requires a police certificate this must be produced by the embassy of the relevant country. If this cannot be achieved, vetting require an Affidavit and adequate proof that all efforts were made with the embassy.

The processSellafield LTD implement a resilient security programme that aims to prevent any risks ensuring confidence from stakeholders in their capabilities in protecting the site and its personnel.

In order to enforce an appropriate level of assurance in an individual HM Government requires that each person must be granted a Baseline Personnel Security Standard as a minimum security check. The process involves the employing company, the candidate, a super intending officer and Sellafield vetting:

It has been known that timescales of this process can take up to 26 weeks. The result of this can be the contracting company paying a worker who has no clearance and is so unable to complete full duties.We | Listen Create Deliver

How Capita can helpCapita are contracted to the NDA estate to provide Agency Supplied Workers. From the point when a candidate is offered conditional employment to the stage where the superintending officer checks over the pack we work to a tight service level agreement. This is achieved though the following:

� Capita take ownership of the pack, chasing employment references daily

� Experienced team working to a high turn around with high accuracy

� Knowledge of ONR regulations

� Expertise in the security process of the entire estate

� Works closely with the vetting departments keeping up to date with every update rolled out by the Cabinet Office

Low rejection ratePart of the delay in clearance can be caused by an incorrect pack being submitted leading to a rejection from vetting and then going through resubmission.

Capita have and extremely low rejection rate. A random sample of over 100 packs shows a 95% success rate. This is a rate that will only increase as the team become ever more practiced.

Our commitment Capita provides a dedicated team who understand the importance of Sellafield LTD security. We are able to take full control of a pack, allowing the candidate to simply provide their ID, apply for the Disclosure Scotland and provide the necessary signatures for the BSVR. We will ensure that references are sought immediately and chased daily thereafter.

As soon as the pack has been compiled we send to this to be signed off by the superintending officer (SO). The accompanying paperwork that the SO must provide for the pack to be able to continue is requested ASAP and subsequently chased for. Once the pack is complete Capita hand deliver this to the vetting department.

We are also able to provide a security consultation. This entails a member of the team meeting with the candidate and going through every requirement with them as a one off meeting. We would instruct what ID to use, how to complete the pack and offer advice with any references or other supporting documentations that would be required.
