Safeguarding

Chelmsford College is committed to safeguarding the welfare of all our learners, staff and partners.

Safeguarding means keeping children and young people safe and promoting their welfare in these ways:

  • Protecting from maltreatment
  • Preventing impairment of health or development
  • Growing up in a safe and cared for environment
  • Taking action to enable the best outcomes

Our College Safeguarding Policy can be downloaded HERE. More detailed definitions on neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, bullying or harassment (including e-safety), forced marriage and radicalisation are included in this policy.

The important thing is to know that if something bothers you, it bothers us.

Talk with us, we can help.

If you are a student with any concerns, during college hours, please contact a member of staff or send the information using the following details: Email: staysafe@chelmsford.ac.uk or Text: 07520 667199

The Safeguarding Helplines will only be responded to during college hours.

At other times, in an emergency call the Police using 999 or for less urgent matters call 101. For medical issues, including mental health, call 111.
