Safeguarding at Valley College

It is the responsibility of the College to refer all cases of suspected abuse to Adult Social Care. Therefore referrals about suspected abuse or neglect may be made if brought to the attention of College staff. Wherever possible we will communicate concerns with parents / advocates prior to making a referral.

Full details of our responsibilities in relation to safeguarding can be found in our Safeguarding policy.
