Here at South Hampshire College Group (SHCG) we continue to prioritise safeguarding and wellbeing, taking proactive steps to support students, staff, and visitors. On Tuesday, 15 October 2025, Eastleigh College partnered with Hampshire Police for a planned safeguarding initiative. A temporary knife arch was installed at the main entrance as part of the operation, which forms part of a wider national approach. Schools and colleges across the country are working closely with local police to raise awareness, encourage safe choices, and promote positive community engagement.
The initiative highlights the college’s commitment to proactive education and safety and we would like to reassure our community that this was not in response to any specific incident but was a proactive measure to support community safety and education.
Our thanks are extended to students, staff, and Hampshire Police for their cooperation and partnership in creating a supportive and secure environment for the college community.
Safeguarding and wellbeing remain at the heart of everything South Hampshire College Group does. The Safeguarding Team is always available to provide guidance and support to any student who needs it.
