Presenting the criminal records extract in the field of Health Care and Social Services

A criminal records extract for working with children is an extract of the criminal records that is given to the employer, authority, educational institution or voluntary organisation in Finland when a person is working with minors.
The student orders the criminal records extract because working with minors is an essential part of work placements and learning in working life. The extract is valid for six months and it has to be presented to the Student and Admission Services in Myllypuro within these six months.

The student orders the extract from the Legal Register Centre online and presents it at the Myllypuro's Student and Admission Services (not in another campus or at the work placement) according to this guidance.

It is also possible to present a electronic extract from the laptop or phone screen. Student can order the electronic extract in e-services. More information in https://asiointi.oikeus.fi/ork-kansalaisille. (e-service is in Finnish language)
