Report a Concern

VCAD staff have a collective responsibility to Safeguard our students. Safeguarding applies to anyone under the age of 18 and any adult who could be at risk of abuse or neglect due to care or support needs. Any person could become an adult at risk, so it is important that all staff, including lecturers, are familiar with how their role interacts with students, what they need to be vigilant of, and how to respond to any concern.

Prevent is a statutory duty that aims to safeguard individuals from radicalisation and extremist ideologies and to prevent them from engaging in terrorist activities.
