What's required before placement?
Before starting placement, UL must either process a vetting application to receive a vetting disclosure from the National Vetting Bureau or receive confirmation from your placement organisation that they have processed your vetting application and received a vetting disclosure.
Next steps

Be sure to allow at least 3–6 weeks for processing before your placement starts.
Don't forget your vetting
If your programme or placement requires vetting, it’s a legal requirement, and it’s your responsibility to get it done.
