Overseas Disclosure Barring Service

If you have lived outside of the UK for six months or more in the past five years, we will need to see a criminal record check from the country you were living in. You can apply for your criminal overseas check through our external provider, Know Your People, by contacting our Admissions Team who will provide you with the relevant information via your BCU Portal.

Once your criminal record check has been completed, please send your form to admissions@bcu.ac.uk and the Admissions Team will send this to Know Your People on your behalf.

If you already have a criminal record check from the country you were living in, you do not need to apply for one through our online provider. Please just send a copy of your certificate, ensuring it is translated into English where applicable, to admissions@bcu.ac.uk

Further information on your DBS can be found here.

Prohibition Check

Applicants who are undertaking placements at an educational institution are required to have a prohibition check against the Department for Education portal.

This check is to ensure that you are not prohibited from working with children. You are not required to provide or update anything for this check to be completed.

This check will look at prohibitions, sanctions and restrictions that might prevent an applicant from taking part in certain activities or working in specific positions.

The prohibition list will identify the following:

• Teachers who have failed induction or probation

• General Teaching Council for England (GTCE) sanctions

• Teachers and others prohibited from the profession

• Teachers sanctioned in other EEA member states

• Section 128 barring directions(prohibits or restricts a person from taking part in the management of a school)

Children's Individual Safeguarding Authority (ISA) Barred List

Universities, colleges, and schools must perform several checks when appointing staff to work at their institution. One of these checks is to ensure that students are not listed on the Children's Barred List, as this would mean they are not allowed to work with children.

This list is usually checked as part of a new enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check which the University will carry out.

Universities, colleges, schools and local authorities have the ability to check the Children's Barred List where their applicants/new employee(s) will either:

• Start working with children while pending the result of an enhanced DBS check

• Not require an enhanced DBS check because they have worked with children in a school or college within the last 3 months

• Check whether any candidate to be employed as a teacher is not subject to a prohibition order issued by the Secretary of State who will be engaging in 'regulated activity'.

The barred list comprises:

• People in England and Wales children's barred list, kept by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (SVGA)

• People in the Northern Ireland children's barred list, kept by the DBS under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Order 2007 (SVGO).

Keeping Children Safe in Education

With the removal of Disqualification by Association in 2018, the Department for Education introduced the Keeping Children Safe in Education policy (2022) which forms part of Safer Recruitment in schools and colleges. This enables you to disclose information to Birmingham City University prior to a DBS being issued, where you will have the opportunity to discuss any disclosed information with your Admissions Tutor.

Schools and colleges in England must ensure this check is completed when carrying out duties to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. This includes engagement of everyone under the age of 18 within teacher training. Further guidance can be found here.

You are required to complete the online Microsoft form which can be accessed via your BCU Portal. On completion of the form, it will be reviewed by the Admissions Tutors for your course.
