Safeguarding

All staff have a duty of care to respond appropriately to any protection concerns relating to the young people we come into contact with.

• Staff are here to listen to any concerns that you have for yourself or a fellow student.
• Staff will not make assumptions about whether harm/abuse has taken place.
• Staff want to reassure you and will be sensitive to any anxieties you have. Staff cannot guarantee confidentiality.
• Staff will have to pass on information to the College Safeguarding Co-ordinator or appropriate contact and ensure that you are kept safe.
• Staff will record everything you tell them and will keep you informed of what happens at every step of the process.

• View our safeguarding policy.

Remember you can speak to any staff member if you have any concerns. However, college staff with specific responsibility for Safeguarding are:

• Sophie Dunnett, Safeguarding Lead - sophie.dunnett@uhi.ac.uk 
• Anne Maree Dykes, Safeguarding Depute - anne_maree.dykes@uhi.ac.uk
• Fiona Hamilton, Safeguarding Depute - fiona.hamilton@uhi.ac.uk
