Safeguarding and Prevent

At Lambeth College we give the utmost priority to ensuring that our safeguarding provision is of high-quality and supports teaching and learning. We listen carefully to our students and take seriously what they tell us. 

The Principal and senior managers take safeguarding and the prevent agenda extremely seriously and, with full support from Trustees, training is delivered regularly for all staff. Senior managers take a strong lead, with responsibility and accountability for safeguarding arrangements clearly identified. Managers’ scrutiny of safeguarding practices is thorough, with frequent monitoring and reporting and we pride ourselves on good-quality training that results in a confident workforce that is well equipped to promote safeguarding and the prevent agenda.

Staff at the college are committed to ensuring the safety of students and value the importance of supporting individuals to develop a better awareness of their own safety as well as proactively consulting leaners about safeguarding arrangements. We have developed, prioritised and embedded a culture of putting students’ safety first.

Safeguarding arrangements are fully in place at all Lambeth College campuses and staff are dedicated to extending this practice to include premises where students work with employers. We also have strong collaborations, with a wide range of external agencies, to support safeguarding and the Prevent Agenda.

Lambeth College:

· identifies responsibility and accountability for safeguarding arrangements clearly and at a senior level,
· ensures that quality training results in a workforce that is confident and well equipped to promote safeguarding in a sensible and proportionate way,
· sharpens the focus of self-assessment to ensure that the impact of safeguarding provision is measured effectively,
· keeps abreast of changes to legal requirements and ensure that policies and procedures are revised accordingly.
