Enhanced disclosures will be made on all students when they hold the conditional firm status. You will be sent details of when to complete the check online as part of your offer. This process must be completed, even if a check has recently been completed for another organisation. All information is treated in the utmost confidence.
Our courses require students to work in positions requiring public trust. In order to ensure public protection and safety, all applicants will be asked to declare any convictions or cautions against them, and to declare any pending prosecutions. This can be done on the UCAS application form.
A disclosure which contains details of an offence does not automatically preclude study on one of our courses. The faculty operates a Professional Issues Committee which will consider each case individually and confidentially. In all instances the committee is assessing whether the disclosure would prevent an applicant from going on placement or obtaining employment on graduation.
