Safeguarding
Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults
The College is committed to ensuring that it:
-
provides a safe environment for children, young people and vulnerable adults to learn in
- Identifies children, young people and vulnerable adults who are suffering, or likely to suffer harm, and takes appropriate action to see that such children, young people and vulnerable adults are kept safe, both at home and at the College.
In order to achieve this, the College undertakes a range of activities, reviewed annually by the governors.
These include:
-
the safe recruitment of staff including Criminal Record Bureau checks and other relevant
pre-employment checks of all staff who come into contact with children, young people and vulnerable adults
-
regular staff training
-
the establishment of a team of child protection specialists
- a clear process for reporting cases of suspected abuse.
The College's Policy and Procedures for the Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults is available on request. The lead manager for child protection is the Vice Principal for Quality, Students and Staff.
Bullying and Harassment
Bullying or harassment of any kind is unacceptable at Kingston Maurward College. We seek to provide a safe and secure environment in which all learners can work together harmoniously.
