Staying Safe outside College

 

Please note: The College will be closed from Thursday 21st December 2023 to Wednesday 3rd January 2024, but our Student Assistant Programme is available 24/7 365 days a year if you need help and support. If you need to reach the Designated Safeguarding Lead in an emergency over the closure period please call 07709710874
