Applicants must meet the DfE's suitability for registration requirements.Covid VaccinationsThe Government passed legislation requiring vaccination as a condition of deployment, which was due to commence from 1 April 2022. The Secretary of State announced that this is being reconsidered and is set to be revoked. The Government’s decision is subject to Parliamentary process and will require further consultation and a vote to be passed into legislation. The Government has indicated that it plans to work with Royal Colleges and professional regulators to strengthen guidance and consult on updates to the Department of Health and Social Care's Code of Practice for regulated providers to strengthen the requirements in relation to COVID-19, which applies to all Care Quality Commission (CQC registered) providers of all health and social care in England. The legislation that was passed would have required you to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination to the university, before joining your programme. While the legal requirement on deployment is set to be revoked, being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (unless exempt) is important to protect both service users and the workforce across the health and social care sector. As the Law has not yet changed and we are unsure of what local practice placement providers will require, we recommend that you receive any Covid -19 vaccinations that you are eligible for, in advance of your programme commencing. As soon as we know what the final Government decision is on this matter we will be back in touch with further information.International Qualifications:We welcome applicants with a range of qualifications which may not match those shown above.If you have qualifications from outside the UK, find out what you need by visiting www.northumbria.ac.uk/yourcountryEnglish Language Requirements:International applicants should have a minimum overall IELTS (Academic) score of 6.0 with 5.5 in each component (or an approved equivalent*).*The university accepts a large number of UK and International Qualifications in place of IELTS.
