🔐 Understanding Security Clearance Levels in UK Defence & Security 🔐 In the realm of UK Defence & Security, understanding the different levels of security clearance is crucial for anyone looking to work on sensitive projects. As a recruiter, I often get asked about this, so let's break it down. Security clearance levels in the UK typically include Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS), Counter-Terrorist Check (CTC), Security Check (SC), and Developed Vetting (DV). Each level serves a specific purpose, ensuring that individuals have the appropriate level of trustworthiness, integrity, and reliability to access sensitive information. For instance, BPSS is the basic level required for access to government assets, while DV is the highest level, necessary for roles involving top-secret information. These clearances are essential to protect national security, safeguard classified information, and ensure that only vetted individuals are entrusted with critical responsibilities. It's not just about ticking boxes; it's about maintaining the integrity and security of our nation.

Today, on Mental Health Day, we at Absolute Military take a moment to acknowledge the importance of prioritising mental well-being. In a world that often demands our constant attention, it’s crucial to recognise the impact of stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges on our lives. Let’s all remember that seeking help for mental health issues is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength and resilience. We must create a supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable discussing their mental health and seeking the necessary support. On this Mental Health Day, we pledge to continue prioritising the mental well-being of our employees and to foster a culture of open communication and empathy. Together, let’s break the stigma surrounding mental health and work towards a world where everyone can thrive, both mentally and physically. #MentalHealthDay #MentalWellbeing #SelfCare #Resilience #OpenCommunication #Empathy

BT Fined £17.5 million for Dropping 14,000 Calls to Emergency Services 999 Such a severe fine comes after a year long investigation finds BT dropped 14,000 emergency calls after a technical fault lasting 11 hours in June last year. Why such a severe fine? The large scale of the fine takes into account findings by Ofcom that BT’s disaster recovery platform had neither the capacity, nor the functionality to cope with the level of demand required by a receiver of the 999 incoming calls service. It also did not have in place sufficient warning systems for assessing and responding to software failures. The scale of the £17.5 million fine takes into account these factors, alongside the sheer duration of the service outage, and potential for harm to the general public who rely upon the service. The watchdog’s director of enforcement, Suzanne Cater, said ““Today’s fine sends a broader warning to all firms: if you’re not properly prepared to deal with disruptions to your networks, we’ll hold you to strict account on behalf of consumers.” BT said it had taken three days to contact each of the callers who had not been connected after what it described as a complex software problem after failing to answer 14,000 calls from 12,392 people. Have Confidence in your Call Answering Provider We invest heavily in our phone systems, software and contingency procedures. We’re always seeking the very latest in call service technology, and never economise on the multiple layers of contingencies we have in place should a problem arise beyond our control. We know the importance of a reliable and seamless service for our customers.
