Security Clearance

During your application for security clearance, we will ask you questions about your online activities.

We do this to form an accurate picture of who you are and to understand your behaviours in particular scenarios.

The questions we ask will focus on things like your social media usage, which websites you frequently visit, and your associated views and attitudes towards your online activity.

We appreciate that these questions cover topics that could be embarrassing or difficult to discuss, such as dating apps and gambling.

We will always treat anything you share with respect and make no judgements based on what you tell us.

It’s essential to be open and honest throughout the security clearance application process, as anything later discovered that you did not initially share could jeopardise your offer of employment.
