DISCLOSURE AND BARRING SERVICE

Some of our degrees require you to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This will be to assess your suitability for access into careers where you will come into contact with children and/or vulnerable adults. In the event of a disclosure, this must be discussed with the Programme Leader prior to entry who will then provide advice relating to placement and future employment criteria within that particular subject area.
