The safety and welfare of our young people is paramount in everything we do. We recognise that all members of staff and students have a part in safeguarding young people and therefore we embed the main principals within the 24hr curriculum. The whole staff team have regular training and updates in line with their roles and responsibilities within college and the pastoral and safeguarding team are accessible to students throughout their day.

Prevent
Prevent is part of our safeguarding duty and is an element of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act (2015). It means that all schools and childcare providers have a duty to help prevent people from being drawn into or supporting terrorism.
Radicalisation is the name given to the process that moves a person to legitimise their support or use of violence. It’s where terrorism begins.
