Criminal Convictions
If you do not tick either the ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ box overleaf we will contact you to get this information and this will delay your enrolment.
You must tick yes if you have a conviction unless it is:
• A motoring offence that you received a fine or three penalty points for
Or
• A spent sentence (as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974).
Please be aware that for certain courses, particularly in teaching, health and social care you must tell us about ANY criminal conviction(s), including spent

Unique Learner Number
The ULN is a unique 10-digit number, and most learners aged 14+ have one. It is designed to work with your Personal Learning Record (PLR), helping to give you
proof of your learning and achievements from the age of 16 onwards.
The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), an executive agency of the Department for Eduaction (DfE), creates and holds the Unique Learner Numbers to
enable effective management of information to fulfil the functions of the DfE. This has been overseen and agreed with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
To this extent, the processing does not require an individual’s consent under the relevant Data Protection legislation.
The ULN is mandatory for all Learners aged 14+, or those who are in, or will be in, receipt of a diploma qualification. ULNs are also mandatory for learners in
England funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency. To understand more about how your data is collected and used please visit:
