Police security clearance
Working With Children (WWC) Check
In those courses where students undertake professional placements, they will be required to obtain a police security clearance check. As the check is valid for 12 months only, students are expected to obtain a new check in each year that a professional placement is required as part of their course.
Confirmation of a criminal record may jeopardise a student’s ability to gain access to a suitable (or any) professional placement(s), and may therefore delay or prevent completion of the course. Any questions or concerns relating to these checks should be directed to the relevant placement coordinator. Further information can be found on the policy section of the Faculty website. Students may also be required to obtain a Working With Children (WWC) Check which will be valid for the duration of their course. More detail about both these checks will be provided to students at the time of enrolment.
