Keeping Safe & Our Community Guidelines

Your safety, well-being, and success are at the heart of everything we do. To ensure a secure, respectful, and positive environment—both online and in our classrooms – we ask all our learners to follow these straightforward guidelines.

Staying Safe Online

Protecting your privacy and digital reputation is essential. By following these simple steps, you can navigate the digital world safely:

  • Protect your personal information: Never give out private details.

  • Keep passwords secure: Do not share your passwords with anyone.

  • Stay safe from online strangers: Never meet up with people you have only met online, and never discuss topics of a sexual nature with them.

  • Watch your digital footprint: Always consider what you post online. Potential future employers can and do look at your digital footprint.

  • Keep it respectful: Avoid online confrontation and never post comments that are offensive, sexist, racist, or derogatory.

Classroom Safety & Conduct

To ensure a safe, welcoming environment for everyone in our classes, you are required to:

  • Follow instructions: Observe all safety guidance given by our team to protect yourself and others.

  • Respect our spaces: Treat our buildings, furniture, fixtures, and fittings with care and respect.

  • Use safety equipment properly: Wear required protective clothing or use safety equipment as instructed. Never misuse health and safety equipment, and report any loss or defects to a member of our team straight away.

  • Report hazards and incidents: Let your tutor know immediately about any hazards, accidents, or near-misses, whether anyone was injured or not.

  • Know your exits: Familiarise yourself with emergency evacuation procedures, fire alarm locations, and emergency equipment.

  • Keep our spaces healthy: Strictly adhere to our smoke-free, drug-free, and alcohol-free policies.

Safeguarding & The Prevent Duty

We take your protection seriously. The Prevent duty is fully embedded within our safeguarding policies to ensure any concerns are handled swiftly and securely.

  • Radicalisation: This occurs when an individual is influenced by an activist or third party to support extremism and potentially commit acts of terrorism.

  • Extremism: This involves holding beliefs that oppose shared British Values and can lead to extreme violence or terrorism.

If you ever have any concerns or need further support, please refer to our dedicated ‘Prevent’ section or speak directly to a member of our team.
