    Security Clearance?

    Does anyone on this fine board know what level of clearance, if any, is required to work for the Corporation of London?

    Thanks in advance.

    depends what area - think most areas will require a CRB check - but others maybe more!!

      TFL Security Level Clearance

      Hi
      I worked on the initial delivey of the Congestion Charging Scheme, which is a TFL system. The security check was Basic Clearance, this means you need to provide to referees of "good social standing" i.e Copper, teacher, Docter.
      Your referees will be sent a form which they complete and return.
      TFL's security group should deal with it, as long as your referees reply promptly should be done and dusted in less than a month.

      Basic Check security is normally used for any workers who potentially have access to demographic information for members of the public.

      Hope this helps

        Just out of interest, what happens if you don't know a Copper, teacher or Doctor? i.e you're not sick, stupid or a criminal.

          Simple, you're not qualified to work with sensitive data.

            Funny was just thinking the same.

            These kind of checks are stupid and pointless

              Go and pick a fight with schools sports master, preferably one who plays number 8, you should then become acquainted with the other 2 rather rapidly, you may even be introduced to a JP, a magistrate or even a judge.
              I am sure they will all have a jolly good laugh when you explain you were only widening the circle of your influence to try to get a job.

              Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                The strange thing is that you don't need that many checks to beome a teacher or a rural copper.
