Safeguarding
Safeguarding is Everyone's Responsibility.
As you start your educational journey with us, it's important to understand that your safety and well-being are our top priorities. We are committed to creating a secure and supportive environment where you can thrive academically and personally.
What is Safeguarding and why is it important?
Safeguarding is all about protecting you from harm and ensuring that you feel safe while you are at college. This includes making sure that you are free from abuse, bullying, neglect, and any other form of harm, whether you're on campus or engaging in college activities online.
We want you to have the best possible experience. By understanding and adhering to safeguarding practices, we can all contribute to a safe and supportive community. Safeguarding helps us ensure that every learner feels valued, respected, and protected.
Prevent
What is Prevent and why is it important?
Prevent is part of the UK government's strategy to stop people from being drawn into terrorism. It's about supporting and protecting those who may be vulnerable to radicalisation, ensuring that they receive help before any harm can occur.
Prevent is not about limiting your freedom of speech or expression. Instead, it's about ensuring that our campus is a safe place where open and healthy discussions can take place without fear of extremism. We want to empower you with the knowledge and understanding to recognise and respond to potential risks in your environment.
British values
Fundamental British Values underpin what it is to be a citizen in a modern and diverse Great Britain valuing our community and celebrating diversity of the UK. These values are:
- Democracy
- Rule of Law
- Respect and Tolerance
- Individual Liberty
