Safeguarding.

Keeping you and our staff safe is one of the most important things we do and we pride ourselves on creating happy spaces for everyone to enjoy.

We will always listen to you. If you are unhappy, worried or frightened by anything that happens in college or at home, our dedicated team of professionals are here to help.

Here are some of the things we do: 

• Have clear policies and procedures in place.
• Employ a designated Safeguarding Manager and a team of safeguarding staff.
• Employ a team of Mental Health and Wellbeing experts who support students with a range of concerns.
• Carry out relevant checks on our staff.
• Actively encourage students and staff to raise any concerns they have through our Flag !t initiative.
• Take all concerns seriously, act upon them and offer full support both through the college and specialist services.
• Train all of our staff in safeguarding on an on-going basis.

Prevent Duty – Working together to defeat terrorism

As part of our safeguarding work, we follow the Prevent Duty. This means we take steps to support people who may be at risk of being influenced into harmful beliefs or encouraged to hurt others. This kind of harmful influence is sometimes referred to as extremism.

We do not accept views or actions that promote violence, hate, or harm. Our priority is to keep students, staff and visitors safe. We do this by working closely with partner organisations and our wider community to spot concerns early and provide the right support.
