Young people and their parents have a right to expect the college to provide a safe and secure environment and a right to be protected from harm.
This means everyone who comes into contact with children, young people and their families, including those who do not have a specific role in relation to safeguarding children, have a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people.
Every member of staff at the College has completed their Level 2 Safeguarding and training is updated regularly.
