Keeping Children Safe

At Jane Austen College we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our young people.

To achieve this we ensure the continuous development and improvement of robust safeguarding processes and procedures that promote a culture of safeguarding within our staff and volunteers.

We expect all our staff to undertake a full enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. For further information on how we keep children safe, please see our safeguarding policy.

If you have a safeguarding concern you can email safeguarding@janeaustencollege.co.uk

This is a dedicated inbox which is monitored closely by our Safeguarding Team. All concerns will be responded to within 48 hours. 

The college will also log all safeguarding concerns on CPOMS.

For further information, see our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy
