Outgoing Erasmus Exchange Students

For students of the School of Education interested in studying in a European institution:

Disclosure Check for Period Abroad

Students who are out of the country for three months or more will need to obtain Disclosure information from the country in which they are studying.  This process should be initiated whilst you are in the country and should not be delayed until your return.  The following information about this is taken from the GTCS website.

If you have spent 3 months or more in a non UK country over the last 10 years, we will require an overseas police check. This only applies if you have remained in the country for 3 months or more in one single period. An overseas police check is also required for applicants who were born and have lived overseas until adulthood.

Applicants should obtain an official statement confirming they do not have criminal record proceedings pending.  This can be obtained from police or judicial authorities, government departments or their Home Embassy in the country or countries concerned. The police check should cover the entire country, not simply one state or province (e.g. FBI clearance for USA and RCMP clearance for Canada).

It will be easier to obtain clearance whilst you are still in the country, however, you should wait until your last month in the country before doing so.
