The cost of an university place means the student will consider both the course reputation and the ease of application for this important decision. A university has many social, health and clinical courses which require the same legal compliance to work with children or vulnerable adults. Unfortunately the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure is a complex process involving internal departments and identity checks by external organisations.
