SOS - Safeguarding Alert

If you are in an environment or a situation where you are unable to report a concern to the College directly, you can use this form to discreetly report a safeguarding alert regarding your personal safety.

Please note: We can only contact you or the police during operating hours, within term time, and outside of bank holidays and weekends.

Our Safeguarding team's operating hours are:
Monday – Thursday: 9:00am – 5:00pm
Friday: 9:00am – 12:00pm

We will aim to get back to you within 24 hours, and will not contact you outside of any safe times you enter into this form. If you give us a phone number to contact you on and we can’t get through, we will try again. We will not leave voicemails, for your safety.
