Admissions guidance
Before applying to study with us, it’s important to understand the professional and regulatory requirements associated with allied health and nursing programmes. This page outlines key information about Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, declaring criminal records, and the guidance available to support you through the application process.
Any offer to study on any of our programmes is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check and is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. You will understand that as an allied health professions or nursing student, you are subject to certain regulatory requirements.
When you qualify, you will be asked to treat children and other vulnerable people. As such, regulatory bodies undertake a vetting and barring process to protect vulnerable groups.
It is a regulatory requirement that you declare any convictions or police cautions, even if they are “spent”. Failure to do so may be considered a serious matter. The information you provide may later be checked with the police and shared with the University of Liverpool Institute of Learning and Teaching, Student Criminal Record Panel (SCRP).
If selected for interview you will be provided with the appropriate form to complete.
More information on how we use your data is available on our legal and governance webpages.
