It is our number one priority to equip our students and staff with the skills and knowledge to stay safe both in and outside of college; each of our colleges and training centres within the college group have a dedicated safeguarding team, who are always available to assist with difficult or potentially harmful problems that students may face at college or at home.
All of our students are supplied with the information, advice and support that they need to stay safe and actively participate in college life, and to proactively spot and report potential risks to their own safety or that of others.
College staff recognise and accept their responsibility to develop an awareness of the risks and issues involved in safeguarding and committed with working with local authorities and other agencies to ensure the safeguarding of its students.
