Requirements for Overseas Police Checks

  • Health and Undergraduate Education students:
    You cannot enrol until we receive proof that you’ve applied for your Overseas Criminal Records check.
    You cannot attend placement until we’ve received and cleared the actual certificate.
  • PGCE students:
    You cannot enrol until we receive a completed and cleared certificate.

📧 Please send all proof of application and completed certificates to: professionalchecks@shu.ac.uk


DBS Check Reminder
You must also complete a DBS check, but this can only be done once you have a permanent UK address.
If you're not yet in the UK, please email us as soon as possible for further guidance.
