Staying Safe

The College maintains a safe learning environment by emphasising a co-operative team spirit, sense of community and responsibility for others. At induction learners are made aware of the college’s bullying and harassment policy and the support they will be given if they feel they need help and support. The positive culture is fostered by Personal Tutors and the Student Liaison Team within group tutorials and the enrichment programme.
