We have a duty of care to young people and take our responsibilities for child protection very seriously. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all of our students, both within the College environment and outside.

We aim to promote a positive, supportive and secure environment in which students feel respected and valued. High self-esteem, confidence, supportive friends and clear lines of communication with trusted adults are important elements of prevention.

We recognise that safeguarding incidents could happen anywhere, so all staff are trained to be alert to any possible causes for concern. King Ed’s has a comprehensive anti-bullying policy. All accusations and incidents will be fully investigated and dealt with appropriately.
