Students undertaking the Speech and Language Sciences degree have unsupervised contact with children or vulnerable adults. The School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences must therefore ensure that students undergo a Disclosure and Barring Services (DBS) enhanced check to ensure they are ‘fit to practise’. The School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences reserves the right to discontinue the studies of any student for whom an unsatisfactory DBS disclosure is received. The School understands that the Independent Safeguarding Scheme has been halted and is currently under review by the government; this situation may change.
