Do I need a DBS check to study my course?

Our DBS supplier, Verifile, will send you an email with all the details you need to complete your DBS.

Verifile will give you instructions to log into their system and complete your personal details and information. The process can take some time, so it is best to do this quickly.

To complete the process, you'll need your passport or driving licence and five-year address history including dates when you moved in/out. Please make sure that you upload your documents to Verifile as this is needed before your identity can be confirmed.

Verifile offers a digital ID verification service as part of the DBS check process. In cases where the digital ID check has failed or cannot be carried out, Student Administration will contact you to arrange an ID check appointment to be held via Skype. Once your ID has been verified your DBS application will be processed.

Once completed, your Disclosure Statement will be mailed to the most recent address in your submission, so please make sure it's correct. We don't automatically receive a copy of this Statement, so please keep this safe as it will be needed prior to placement.
