What is safeguarding?
Safeguarding means protecting people’s health, wellbeing and human rights, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect, living a life free from fear.
Safeguarding: You Have the Right to Be and Feel Safe
We strive to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for all our learners. We have a policy of zero tolerance to bullying, abuse, grooming and harassment, and aim to protect you from the risks associated with radicalisation and extremism.
We will support you in understanding how to keep yourself safe in society, and will tell you what steps we will take on your behalf should we ever have any concerns for your welfare.
Abuse can include a single incident, or a series of incidents and can be carried out by different people. It may not be perpetrated by a stranger, it may be someone who is well known to you, such as a family member, spouse, friend, neighbour, care worker or volunteer.
