Safeguarding
Safeguarding you, whilst at college, is a priority for the Safeguarding team. The team aims to protect you from potential risk and to promote positive health and wellbeing. There are a number of policies and procedures in place to ensure that safeguarding, and Prevent, are embedded into college life.
Everyone has a responsibility to safeguarding and there are a number of ways that you, as a student, can do this.
Always wear your student lanyard at all times- lanyards show us that an individual has a legitimate reason to be on the college campus.
Share or report any concerns or issues that you may have regarding an individual and/or a situation. You can do this by speaking to your tutors, emailing the safeguarding team at safeguarding@cityplym.ac.uk or use the Safeguarding 24 icon located on your browser bar.
Have a voice to help promote awareness of issues by and joining the Student Safeguarding Group. Work together to develop what the issues/concerns might be and how the messaging and information can be shared to your peers
