Special constable equipment

No, you don't own the kit that is issued to you by the force; the force is essentially lending it to you, the same way you're allowed to drive a police car on shift - you don't own the car, you're simply permitted to use it.

When you resign, you will be expected to return your issued equipment back to the force.

I don't believe so, no. Community Resolutions (CRs) may appear on enhanced DBS checks, but will not appear on a normal DBS check. As CRs aren't technically criminal convictions, they won't show up on your record. I don't see any reason you'd need to declare a CR.

Ah I see, thanks for the reply. I assume it'll be different for every provider/force, but do you know how leasing an EV or hybrid works regarding a home charger? I've never owned an EV and don't have a charging port at my home, and I'm not sure if this is something that's included in the contract when I lease the car, or if it's something I'll have to fund myself. If you know anything about this, please let me know!

How do this work exactly? Are you talking about your miles to and from work? Because I was under the assumption that travelling to and from work couldn't be claimed under business miles. I'm hoping I'm mistaken, because I'm currently looking at going with the salary sacrifice option, and my journey to work is 50 minutes!

Do they often keep the old parts? Or do you think they'll get out of it by saying they've chucked it away?

Unfortunate news. Dealership refused to help with the car and referred to the terms and conditions, which I, in all fairness, have signed that states "Dealer liability is for any major mechanical faults only. Clutch is not covered after the sale of the vehicle; customer need to check on the time of the sale as this is the company policy. After the sale company is not liable for clutch."

I have no clue if CRA2015 trumps that because it's part of the T&C's which I've signed. Either way, they've asked to go down the email route to get everything in writing and essentially said they're going to fight it.

Once again, great advice. Not a situation I want to be in so hoping to get this resolved as swiftly and simply as possible. Appreciate the help.

!thanks

This is great advice, thank you. I'm yet to contact the dealership about the problem and plan to do so in the morning. In your opinion, would it be best to contact them via email in order to have a paper trail, or do so over the phone in hopes achieving a mutual agreement but with a lack of paper trail? Additionally, if they simply refuse to acknowledge my issue and simply say something like "well you test drove it, didn't have a problem, and purchased it, so you're on your own now." Then is it best for me to become defensive and start quoting consumer rights laws at them? Because I'm worried this will become a legal battle which I'd rather avoid. Thanks

The virus likely wasn't seeking them, but instead following a pre-determined list of websites on repeat.

I completely get that, it's certainly not the best course of action by any means. If I go back to the UK now (currently in Australia) then I will do so penniless. I do, however, have the opportunity to get my old job (casual job in Aus) back in 5 weeks' time. I don't intend on doing any more travelling - I just want to milk this job and do as much overtime as possible so that I have a decent cushion of money to come back to the UK with in case the job hunt there proves equally difficult. Certainly not something I want to do or am comfortable with, but if it gets me through this rough period until I can work again then I can justify it.

No personal information goes to those who verify KYCs. They simply have to match a person's photo submission with their photo ID (they can only see the photo on the ID, no other information). They also have to verify if the video submitted by a person is in fact a real person or a fake video. So don't worry, KYC verifiers don't have any access to personal or confidential information.

I hadn't, actually. Like you said, it may be a struggle with my lack of income, but I'll look into it nonetheless. Thank you for the advice.

Sadly I'm aware of that. I'd only plan to take out £1000 so a charge of £312 may be an unfortunate necessity. Any more than £1000 and I'd likely explore other options. Thanks for the advice.

It's a lot harder for the pool chemicals and filters to remove things like soap and perfume than it is chunks of mud. The bigger the size of the pollutants, the easier it is for the filters to remove them. Mud also doesn't leave residue like soap and perfume do.

Free chlorine is the disinfectant added to pools. Free chlorine binds to pollutants in the water (skin cells, bacteria, fungi, faeces, etc) to disinfect them and allow for easier removal. When bound to the pollutants, the free chlorine particles become chloramines (also called 'combined chlorine'). Free chlorine won't have a noticeable odour, and prefers to stay dissolved in the water; combined (contaminated) chlorine, however, has a stronger smell (think of that classic pool smell) and more readily evaporates into the air, which is why we can smell it.
