I’m obviously not Jessica, but I believe the usual process is that you won’t have a character & suitability assessment done until you’re actually applying to be admitted as a solicitor (ie once your PRT/QWE has been completed). However, you can ask for an early assessment of character & suitability if you have particular concerns, but this would just be to give you an idea of whether the SRA would allow you to qualify and they then carry out another character and suitability assessment when you apply to be admitted anyway.Hope that helps, but the SRA website has some more info here: https://www.sra.org.uk/become-solicitor/character-and-suitability/
