CRB Guidance
Entry to some programmes of study at York St John
University requires applicants to meet non-academic
conditions. Where such conditions are routine, they are
specified in course literature and are part of the standard entry
requirements. One of these conditions is completion of a
Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Enhanced Disclosure
application. The CRB Disclosure application form will be
sent to you if you are successful at the interview stage and
receive a conditional offer from York St John. For further
details on the CRB please visit their website - www.crb.gov.uk.
Information on how the University manages the CRB
procedures and the consideration of applications with criminal
convictions is set out in the University policy
Admissions of Students and Criminal Conviction.
Applications from candidates with criminal convictions will be
carefully considered. Applicants must, upon request, provide
full details of the conviction. The University retains the
right to refuse entry to any applicant with a criminal conviction
which may jeopardise the security, safety or reputation of the
University or its community, or where there are relevant
professional criteria which apply.
Applicants also need to be aware that if they
have spent longer than three months out of the UK in the last five
years then as well as applying for a CRB Enhanced
Disclosure they will also need to obtain a Police Check or
other CRB equivalent to cover the time spent
overseas. This is due to the CRB not having access to
overseas criminal records as part of its Disclosure service.
For further details on this please visit either the CRB
website (www.crb.gov.uk/overseas) or
the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website (www.fco.gov.uk).
CRB Disclosure interview procedure
In accordance with the Criminal Record Bureau
Code of Practice we are now required to verify identity when
accepting identification documents for your CRB Enhanced Disclosure
application.
Therefore, we are now completing an
identification form at your interview in order that we can verify
any photographic identification provided is a true likeness of
yourself.
The information provided on this form will be
held by York St John University in a secure environment until such
a time as a decision is made as to whether you are to be offered a
place on the programme of your choice. If you are made an
offer, the actual CRB Disclosure application form will be sent out
to you, and you will be able to complete it and return it to us,
whereby we will be able to complete the form with the ID already
held on file. If you are not made an offer the information
will be destroyed.
If you have any queries please contact Admissions
on T: 01904 876598 or E: admissions@yorksj.ac.uk
