[QUOTE="kingof0ld, post: 131443, member: 27403"] Hi, Throwaway account for privacy reasons however I would be grateful for some help. I have been looking into the character and suitability rules for admission and I would like some clarity. I began my training contract in April 2021 and my understanding is that a character and suitability test was carried out prior to commencing the training contract and then another was to take place before admission. In my email from the SRA when my PRT was accepted and initiated by the SRA I am told "Remember you must tell us straight away about any new issues that fall under our [URL='https://www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/standards-regulations/assessment-character-suitability-rules/']Suitability Rules[/URL]." Presumably this indicates that a character and suitability test was done? My understand was that in September 2021 this system changed to a character and suitability test being carried out just before admission rather than before training. I graduated almost 6 years ago and I have recently, after reminiscing with a friend, recalled a meeting that was held with the university re working together on an assessed oral presentation. Effectively we gave similar presentations. The University made us redo the assessments out of principle. We were not warned or kicked out or anything of the sort but it was a formal meeting. I am wondering if I am perhaps being too paranoid and opening a can of worms which should be left avoided. If a character and suitability test was done before my period of recognised training commenced I can sleep easy knowing this did not come up in the check however if not I am wondering if this is something the SRA will need to know about. In any event does the SRA contact the university for the character and suitability checks? Many thanks [/QUOTE]
