Safeguarding

We take our safeguarding responsibilities extremely seriously. Safeguarding is about doing everything we can to make sure all our students and staff are kept safe and protected from harm. The government provides statutory guidance to colleges on what they need to do to achieve this. We adhere to all guidance and pride ourselves on going above and beyond to make Post 16 a safe, happy and thriving environment for all.
