Key Information and Policies

Safeguarding

We understand that we have a critical responsibility to play in ensuring and promoting the safety and well-being of our pupils. We will take action if we have concerns about an individual’s safety or well-being.

We will do our best to assist and support, but there may be times when we must report our concerns to the local Children’s Services Department, the police, or the health services. Because our students are under the age of 18 when they join us, we have a special responsibility to ensure that they feel comfortable and protected while in our care.

The College also has a responsibility to consider how to prevent students from becoming radicalised and attracted into extremism, which is handled as a safeguarding issue.

Financial Support

Students have access to a range of financial benefits and discounts to help with their studies while at college. Students may be eligible for financial assistance with the cost of books, equipment, transport, college meals, or educational visits from the 16-19 bursary Fund.
