As an ITE trainee, apart from salaried School Direct and SCITT routes, you will need to complete your DBS check before you start school experience. Depending on the number of addresses you have lived at, and if you have spent time overseas, they can take a number of weeks to come through. We highly recommend you apply as early as possible. We would normally invite students onto campus to complete their DBS, but the coronavirus restrictions mean that we will be doing it remotely this year.  Please look out for an email from DBS@roehampton.ac.uk which will give you all the information you need about what to do and the documents you will require.
