- To foster, promote and maintain a genuine feeling of safety throughout the College via the curriculum, pastoral support, and appropriate working practices through the promotion of a College ethos where everyone feels secure, valued and listened to
- To act where appropriate to safeguard the person through working in partnership with other agencies
- To educate all students and staff in safeguarding and child protection issues so that they become more aware and confident in dealing with issues relating to those matters
