DBS & CAS

The Disclosure and Barring Service helps employers make safer recruitment decisions each year by processing and issuing DBS checks for England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. DBS also maintains the adults’ and children’s Barred Lists and makes considered decisions as to whether an individual should be included on one or both of these lists and barred from engaging in regulated activity.

DBS is an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Home Office.

Questions to ask yourself prior to making payment:

We would require students to say yes to both of the questions below prior to making payment;

1.Have you discussed your visa extension with the staff at the Gateway? If not, please do so before paying the fee for the CAS.

2.Are you a continuing student, e.g. repeating modules or extending your visa to complete a full-time course?

If you are a new student please contact Admissions(0191 515 3154) to obtain a CAS.
