Nursing and Midwifery - Safeguarding checks

MSci Midwifery

Disclosure Barring Service (DBS)

In 2012, the Criminal Records Bureau and the Independent Safeguarding Authority merged and became what is now known as the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

If you have selected Birmingham City University as your firm choice, you will receive an email inviting you to complete an online DBS application form. This will be sent from our external provider, Know Your People, closer to the start date of your course. This email will be sent from noreply@knowyourpeople.co.uk

Know Your People will provide the University with confirmation that your DBS certificate is complete. You do not need to send a copy of your certificate to the University.

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.

Occupational Health Form

Birmingham City University requires an Occupational Health Form to be completed prior to your enrolment. This is to ensure that within your first year of study, you can attend your placement and maximise your learning experience.

You will receive a link from the Admissions Team closer to your start date to complete your Occupational Health Form. You will also be able to access the link from your BCU Portal. The Occupational Health checks are completed by our provider, OH Works, who will review and work with the University to inform us directly if you have passed your assessment. Birmingham City University will not hold any information disclosed in the Occupational Health Form you have submitted with OH Works.

Please note; if you are a Conductive Education applicant, you will be contacted by the National Institute of Conductive Education (NICE) to complete your Occupational Health Form.

To be successful, you must be both 'cleared for placement' and 'cleared for enrolment'. OH Works will communicate this directly to Birmingham City University. Please do not worry if you have submitted your Occupational Health Form and have not heard back yet, as the University will contact OH Works if there is any element outstanding.
