Safeguarding

Stanmore College is committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. We have published our safeguarding policy on the website as well as providing information to all students and staff throughout the college.

The college strives to create an environment in which all students feel valued and are safe. There are strong links with Harrow Local Children’s Safeguarding Board ensuring that local trends are identified and appropriate measures are in place to safeguard students. The college has a Safeguarding policy and a Health and Wellbeing policy which are available on request.
