At Buckinghamshire College Group, we recognise our responsibilities for the protection of young people and vulnerable adults. Our staff and volunteers are all aware of protection issues and your safety and well-being will always be placed first.
We take any allegation of abuse seriously and treat it in accordance with College policy and procedures. We can also put you in touch with people who can provide more specialised help. Site users and visitors are expected to comply with the college’s Safeguarding Child Protection Policy.
Child Exploitations & Online Protection Centre
The NCA’s CEOP Command is here to help children and young people. We are here to help if you are a young person and you or your friend (up to age 18) has been forced or tricked into taking part in sexual activity with anyone online, or in the real world. We also have advice and links to support for other online problems young people might face, such as cyberbullying and hacking. Visit our Safety Centre for advice and to report directly to CEOP, by clicking on the Click CEOP button.
Safeguarding looks at keeping children, young people and adults safe from a wide range of potential harm and looks at ways of preventing harm as well as acting to stop it.
PREVENT is about supporting all our students and help to stop them from becoming involved in any form of extremist and/or terrorist activities.
You can find and download our Safeguarding and PREVENT on our Policies and Procedures page.
