DBS Checks for Psychology Students
DBS Forms are available from the School Office for Psychology students who require a check in order to carry out their studies. The School employs the services of an organisation called Safety-Net to assist with the DBS checking process. This ensures that forms can be processed as quickly as possible even at peak times of the year.
