Do I need a DBS for my course of study?

Modified on Wed, 5 Jun at 9:38 AM

If you do, we will clearly state it in the course details and your course offer, and contact you well in advance of your course start date with details of how to apply for a DBS check.

You can find more information on our website.

In April 2020, we launched the online DBS check service which makes applying for a DBS certificate easier and faster! We are working with eSafeguarding who are an online DBS checking service. For the vast majority of courses requiring mandatory DBS, you will complete the DBS application and payment online with eSafeguarding rather than via a paper application. 

You will bring 3 forms of ID into the Student Centre with at least one being a proof of address.Please see the ID document checklist attached to the DBS application email when you receive it for acceptable documents. 

There are a select number of courses which will still complete their DBS application via a paper application form, this will be communicated with students via post.

For any queries relating to DBS please pop into the Student Centre or via email/telephone.
