Please keep the form until its intended purpose has been completed, i.e. vetting process, employment decision, internal or external audit, as we may request a scanned copy of this form as part of the vetting process. You may keep a Request and Consent form in secure storage for a period no longer than twelve months, unless a longer retention period is required under legislation.
