AEC Protection will use the information you have given on your application form (together with any information which we obtain with your consent from third parties) for assessing your suitability for employment. It may be necessary to disclose your information to our agents and other service providers. Your information will be viewed by agents employed by AEC Protection to check its compliance with BS 7858:2019 Security Screening of Individuals Employed in a Security Environment and also for Audit Purposes.

Any offer of work is subject to satisfactory screening, that the applicant consents to being screened and will provide information as required. That the information provided is correct, and the applicant acknowledges that any false statements or omissions could lead to termination of employment.

AEC Protection incurs costs in completing mandatory pre-employment screening, including identity, credit, and security checks in accordance with BS7858:2019.
If, after vetting has been completed, you decide not to commence work, or if your engagement with AEC Protection ends (by resignation or otherwise) within twelve (12) weeks of your onboarding, you agree to reimburse the company the actual cost of your screening checks.

Where possible, this amount may be deducted from any pay due to you. If no payment is due, the company may issue an invoice for the actual cost incurred. You consent to this deduction and reimbursement by signing this declaration.

By returning this form to AEC Protection you consent to our processing personal data about you where this is necessary, for example information about your employment history, credit status, ethnic origin or criminal offences.

You also consent to the transfer of your information to your current and future potential employers where this is necessary (this may be to companies operating abroad if you apply for work outside of the United Kingdom).

Your information will be held on our computer database and/or in our paper filing systems. By signing below you agree to this process and confirm that you do not have a criminal record subject to the current Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and any amendments. You have the right to apply for a copy of your information (for which we may charge a small fee) and to have any inaccuracies corrected.

You are applying for a position of trust and in the event of being offered employment by AEC Protection we may apply for a Disclosure. However, having a criminal record does not necessarily bar you from employment. For more information ask a member of staff for a copy of the DBS(CRB) Code of Practice/Disclosure Scotland and/or Company our policy statement regarding ex-offenders. Disclosure information is treated in a sensitive way and is restricted to those who need to see it to make a recruitment decision. By signing this document you allow AEC Protection to see a copy of the Disclosure. The Disclosure information is not retained i.e. it is disposed of within the timescales recommended in the DBS(CRB) Code of Practice. By signing below you agree to this process.

I certify that to the best of my knowledge, the information that I have given in my application for employment is true and complete and understand that any false statement or omission to AEC Protection or its representatives may render lead to termination of employment without notice. I understand and agree that if so required I will make a Statutory Declaration in accordance with the provisions of the Statutory Declarations Act 1835 in confirmation of previous employment or unemployment.

I authorise AEC Protection or its agents to approach Government agencies, former employers, current employees, educational establishments, criminal justice agencies and personal referees for information relating to and verification of my employment/unemployment record. I consent to AEC Protection's reasonable processing of any personal information obtained for the purposes of establishing my medical condition and future fitness to perform my duties. I accept that I may be required to undergo a medical examination where requested by AEC Protection. 

Subject to the Access to Medical Reports Act 1988, I consent to the results of such examinations to be given to AEC Protection and authorise AEC Protection to make a consumer information search with a credit reference agency, which will keep a record of that search and may share that information with other credit reference agencies. I further declare that any documents that I provide as proof of my identity, proof of address, proof of right to work and any other documents that I provide are genuine and give my consent for these documents to be examined under a UV scanner or similar device. I acknowledge that any falsified documents may be reported to the appropriate authority.
