Safeguarding and Child Protection
Making sure that you are safe and enjoying your life at college is really important to us so it’s at the centre of all our planning and all that we do. Everyone here at college has an important role to play in safeguarding the welfare of children, young people and adults.
All our staff complete compulsory safeguarding and prevent (extremism & radicalisation) awareness training
We also have trained Safeguarding Officers across all campuses to support our students. These teams work with Local Safeguarding Boards and other external agencies to create a strong safeguarding culture and safe environment.
We also work in partnership with Operation Encompass
Students will complete personal development and activities that will raise their understanding and awareness of safeguarding and will have trusted staff and support teams to help them. We will always act with individuals to support their safety and best interests.
In line with The Cornwall College values, we believe that everyone, whatever their circumstances, should have the right to feel safe. We will:
- Promote and support positive mental and physical health
- Provide access to help and support when a safeguarding or welfare need is identified
- Work with students and agencies to help to prevent maltreatment or harm
- Take action to enable all students to have the best outcomes
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility including students, staff and visitors
If you are concerned about your own or someone else’s welfare, please discuss your concerns as soon as possible with any trusted member of staff. For more information, contact:
For urgent issues out of college hours, please contact the police on 101 or 999 depending on the emergency
