CYM Degree Programme Application form

Some of the following questions are optional but will support our Equality and Diversity recording.

Because of the nature of the course for which you are applying, this application is exempt from the provisions of Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 by virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975. This means you are therefore not entitled to withhold information about convictions which for other purposes are “spent” under the provisions of the Act. In the event of acceptance, failure to disclose such convictions could lead to disciplinary action being taken and any offers for a place on the course being withdrawn. Any information given will be treated in the strictest confidence and used solely in relation to this application. Please be aware that for positions involving substantial access to young people or children a system of checking police records for possible criminal background will be implemented.

From the time you first contact CYM, we hold appropriate personal information on file both in paper format and electronically. Under GDPR we need your consent to use your information in ways appropriate to the efficient conduct of our business. By submitting this form I give my consent to CYM holding my personal data relating to my studies.

Please provide the details of the three referees to whom you will be sending your forms. One should be from your current or most recent employer, one from someone who knows your work with children, schools or youth work, and the third should be a personal reference, normally from a Church Leader where appropriate. You cannot submit references from family members.
