Will preferencing disadvantage those applicants with children?

Preferencing will allow applicants with children to select programmes within the scheme in geographical areas that would be suitable for them to travel to. 

Applicants with children may have specific requirements e.g. some might not wish to preference programmes where there is a requirement for blocks of residential training at points during the training year. 

Applicants may wish to apply for special circumstances. More information can be found in the applicant handbook (appendix E).
