Amendment to regulation 81 of the principal regulations

For regulation 81 of the principal regulations there shall be substituted the

following

“Professional Misconduct and/or Unsuitability

81. (1) In the case of students following courses which involve work with

vulnerable persons, the University may at any time suspend or preclude from further

studies any student who, following appropriate investigatory procedures that Senate

may establish for such cases, is deemed to have acted or be acting in a manner which

jeopardises the welfare of the subject (whether patient, pupil, or client) or which

contravenes the relevant professional codes of conduct (i.e. professional misconduct), or

whose behaviour is deemed to be incompatible with that required by the profession (i.e.

professional unsuitability).

(2) The University may request a Police Good Conduct Certificate of

its students. Students shall inform the University if the declaration on their certificate

changes during their registration on a University course, in which case this declaration

shall be considered by a sub-committee of the Admissions Board appointed by Senate for

the purpose.”
