Where to start
About safeguarding at 色花堂
As well as meeting the needs of children and vulnerable adults we consider safeguarding in its broadest term as covering the general welfare of our community. Whilst all our staff have a duty to respond to any safeguarding concerns, our Designated Safeguarding Lead, supported by colleagues in the safeguarding team, holds overall responsibility of all students at the university.
Most issues of concern can be supported by our general student welfare teams, and we have a wide range of support available to students. More information is available on our听health and wellbeing webpages.
Issues that may fall directly under Safeguarding regulations, relating to children and/or vulnerable adults, should be reported to听[email protected]听so that these can be followed up appropriately. The Head of Student Support and Wellbeing is the University鈥檚 Designated Safeguarding Lead.
