Are you or someone else at risk of harm?
The safeguarding of young people and vulnerable adults is of paramount importance to us; ensuring a safe, positive, and secure environment for our apprentices whether at our training centre or out with employers.
Safeguarding is the action that is taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm, including:
- protecting children from abuse and maltreatment
- preventing harm to children’s health or development
- ensuring children grow up with the provision of safe and effective care
- taking action to enable all children and young people to have the best outcomes.
As an education provider and in accordance with the relevant government legislation, CETC (as part of South Hampshire College Group) has a statutory and moral duty to commit to practices that protect young people and vulnerable adults from abuse, neglect or significant harm.
As an education provider and in accordance with the relevant government legislation, we have a statutory and moral duty to commit to practices that protect young people and vulnerable adults from abuse, neglect or significant harm.
It is our number one priority to equip our students and staff with the skills and knowledge to stay safe both in and outside of college; each of our colleges and training centres within the college group have a dedicated safeguarding team, who are always available to assist with difficult or potentially harmful problems that students may face at college or at home.
All of our apprentices are supplied with the information, advice and support that they need to stay safe and actively participate in college life, and to proactively spot and report potential risks to their own safety or that of others.
Staff recognise and accept their responsibility to develop an awareness of the risks and issues involved in safeguarding and committed with working with local authorities and other agencies to ensure the safeguarding of its students.
