Safeguarding

Safeguarding is a term used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to denote measures to protect the health, well-being and human rights of individuals, which allow people — especially children, young people and adults at risk — to live free from abuse, harm and neglect. We provide this through:

• Promotion of your health and development
• Ensuring your safety and care
• Ensuring you are offered the best life chances
• Protection from abuse and neglect
• Prevention of bullying and harassment

Take a look at our monthly Safeguarding newsletters, which focus on different topics each month and provide a list of appropriate support services available both locally and Nationally.

Here at City College Peterborough we encourage all learners, visitors and staff to follow the SMART rules, to help you stay safe online.

S - Stay safe online by not sharing your personal information. Don't give away things like your name, home address or password.
M - Do not meet anyone who you have only become friends with online. This can be dangerous as this person is still a stranger.
A - Do not accept messages and friend requests from people to do not know.
R - Not everything online is reliable. People online are strangers and you can't trust everything they say.
T - Tell a person you trust if anything happens online that you do not like.

Be careful what you share online! Stop and think before you share information online. Don't say or do anything that you wouldn't in the real world!
