Safeguarding

Safeguarding is central to everything we do. All staff are trained to protect and support young people, with a focus on both child and adult safeguarding as learners transition into adulthood. This includes managing disclosures and supporting mental health challenges.

Specialist College

Safeguarding is paramount

Our Specialist College staff have further training on adult safeguarding, which ensures staff work effectively with our vulnerable young adults as they move across to adult services.

In addition to the College Safeguarding Team, the Foundation employs a full time Social Worker who focuses on all aspects of Child Protection and Adult Safeguarding, and a Family Intervention Support Worker who supports families of vulnerable adults and children.
