Safeguarding

content

All staff have a duty of care to respond appropriately to any protection concerns relating to the young people we come into contact with.

  • Staff are here to listen to any concerns that you have for yourself or a fellow student
  • Staff will not make assumptions about whether harm/abuse has taken place
  • Staff want to reassure you and will be sensitive to any anxieties you have. Staff cannot guarantee confidentiality
  • Staff will have to pass on information to the relevant Safeguarding Co-ordinator or appropriate contact and ensure that you are kept safe
  • Staff will record everything you tell them and will keep you informed of what happens at every step of the process

Staff members may have Safeguarding Concerns for those in their personal life, or have experienced this in the past. Supporting this area of work can also have an emotional, and potentially upsetting, impact on staff. For further support, you may wish to contact your local HR Team and/or ask about Employee Assistance Programmes, or view our collection of external specialist support lines.
