Does it matter if my Police Certificate is not in English?
If your certificate is not in English you must provide a certified translation.
When should I request my Police Certificate?
As soon as possible. If you have applied for any programme which requires vetting you need to start the process now, as Police Certificates can take some time and, if your vetting isn't complete, it will delay your placement.
