Candidates working with all client groups, whether children, the elderly or people with a disability will need to complete a Criminal Records Bureau check before they can go into the work setting. Candidates must be aware that if they have received a caution, reprimand or conviction it may prohibit them from enrolling on a Care and Early Years programme of study and gaining employment in a care / childcare setting.
