From July 2010 registration with the ISA will be required by law from applicants and students on programmes or modules that involve contact with children and vulnerable adults in a regulated activity or setting and on the defined frequent and intensive basis. The University has a legal responsibility to ensure that applicants and students in a regulated activity are registered with the ISA. Registration with the ISA can be requested through the CRB process and there may be charge for this. If ISA registration is required then this information will be clearly stated in your programme literature.


Any information provided by students in relation to Criminal Convictions declarations will be treated in strict confidence, securely maintained and disclosed only to specific individuals who require this information as part of their duties. This information will be stored separately from your academic record.


If you are uncertain whether you will require a criminal convictions check, contact your Programme Leader or the Student Policy and Regulation Team: StudentPolicyandRegulation@ljmu.ac.uk


Further information on the Criminal Convictions Policy is available at: www.ljmu.ac.uk/corporate/SPR/84204.htm

Fitness to Study


LJMU recognises that sometimes serious personal circumstances, such as physical and / or mental health issues, may affect your ability to maintain your studies. Problems may manifest themselves in a variety of ways, impacting not only upon you but also upon other members of the University community. In some circumstances, LJMU will refer you to the Occupational Health Physician for assessment. For further information, visit: www.ljmu.ac.uk/corporate/SPR/90523.htm


Fitness to Practise


For some professional courses, LJMU is required to confirm that applicants and students are fit to practise. Put simply this means that you have achieved (or will be able to achieve) a particular level of competency in a range of skills and/or professional standards of behaviour. This is entirely separate from any academic judgement issues the University is required to make.


The University has a Fitness to Practise Policy and where appropriate operates Faculty-specific Fitness to Practise Panels that include external representatives from the relevant professional practise area. Students who are assessed as not fit to Practise in some capacity may be able to complete a non-professional academic programme at LJMU. Further details can be found at www.ljmu.ac.uk/corporate/SPR/90523.htm
