Safeguarding & Prevent

Grantham College is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all of our students and visitors. The College’s Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults policy sets out the steps we take to protect children and young people and the procedures we would use to deal with any concerns.

Anyone can contact the team on 01476 400200 if they have any concerns.

Grantham College has a statutory and moral duty to ensure that the College functions with a view to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults receiving education and training at the College.

The governing body is committed to ensuring that the College provides a safe environment for students to learn in, identifies children and vulnerable adults who are suffering, or likely to suffer, significant harm, and takes appropriate action to see that such children and vulnerable adults are kept safe, both at home and at the College.

The College has on-site security procedures and all students, staff and visitors must wear formal ID badges whilst on all College premises to ensure that we effectively monitor and recognise everyone who is at the College.
