CTP endeavours to ensure our learners are safe at all times. Our learners can contact our Designated Safeguarding Lead and all the Safeguarding Champions based at each training centre to discuss any safeguarding, Prevent or wellbeing concerns that they may face. Our Safeguarding Champions and Designated Safeguarding Lead will ensure any issues raised are treated with the highest level of confidentiality and look to work with each learner to signpost them to the best support, using a multi-agency approach to ensure the learners gets the right guidance for their individual situation.

Neglect signs can include poor hygiene, malnutrition, untreated medical conditions, or living in unsafe conditions.
Changes in financial circumstances, such as unexplained withdrawals or missing valuables, could signal financial abuse, where victims might be coerced into giving away money or assets, leading to significant harm.

The Prevent strategy, published by the Government in 2011, is part of an overall counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST. Prevent is about safeguarding people and communities from the threat of terrorism. At the heart of Prevent is safeguarding children and adults by providing early intervention to divert and protect people away from being drawn into terrorist activity.
Prevent work covers all forms of potential terrorism.
Terrorism and extremism are sometimes used interchangeably. Both pose a threat but they have very distinct definitions. Terrorism is an action or threat designed to influence the government or intimidate the public. Its purpose is to advance a political, religious or ideological cause.z
In the UK we define terrorism as a violent action that:
Extremism is a vocal/active opposition to Fundamental British Values of Democracy, Individual Liberty, Respect and Tolerance.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: Treating Everyone Fairly
CTP is committed to the promotion of equality, diversity and inclusion for its staff and learners. We are committed to treating everyone fairly, and we respect and value the differences between all the people we work and learn with.
We will tackle all bullying, harassment and any other forms of discrimination to promote a safe environment for our learners to learn. We challenge any inequality to ensure we provide suitable support for people’s different needs and circumstances to help level the playing field between those who share a protected characteristic, and those who do not. We’re here to inspire you to achieve your potential, and we will respond to your needs and feedback to make sure you do.
We work in line with the Equality Act 2010 which recognises the following categories as Protected Characteristics: Age, Disability, Gender Reassignment, Marriage and Civil Partnership, Pregnancy and Maternity, Race, Religion and Belief, Sex (gender) and Sexual orientation. We aim to provide a working and learning environment which values individuals and does not discriminate on any grounds, including any of the protected characteristics.
CTP are committed to promoting and enhancing the health and wellbeing of all our learners, not just their learning. Our staff are here to support you every step of the way and signpost you to wellbeing organisations that can better support you.
