Welfare & Safeguarding


North Kent College has a statutory duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and adults. We work within Government legislation, Keeping Children Safe in Education, Working Together to Safeguard Children, and all other relevant legislation.   

David Martin (Governor for Safeguarding) and Rebecca Skinner (Head of Welfare & Safeguarding), both have senior responsibility for safeguarding, leading on a culture of safety for learners and staff across the College.

Our Safeguarding Children and Adults at Risk Policy is reviewed and updated annually in line with developments in legislation.

If you have a safeguarding concern, please contact reception and ask to speak to the safeguarding team:

North Kent College: 01322 629 400

All staff have responsibility for safeguarding and follow North Kent College’s procedure to report disclosures of abuse or safeguarding concerns to the safeguarding team.

All staff complete regular online safeguarding training and receive updates to legislation and practice.
