I believe you cannot do a vac scheme if you have already committed to another tc. I had to sign a declaration for my upcoming vac scheme that I haven’t signed a tc elsewhere. Could be very firm dependent tho, not sure if it’s a general rule or not- msclm

Sidley’s wvs is also only 1 week and has a smaller intake because its use to feed...- msclm
