It is really important for you to have a criminal records check called an enhanced DBS check before you can go on your work placement.

So, you need to be aware that if you’ve received a caution, reprimand or conviction it may mean we can’t enrol you on the course and you won’t be able to get a job in the care and childcare sectors.
