We’re better without bullying Every student has the right to be and feel safe and to enjoy their time at Middlesbrough College and TTE. For some young people, the transition from school or work into studying at College or TTE can be a big step, and we want students to feel comfortable, safe and happy. Middlesbrough College is dedicated to promoting and reinforcing a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of bullying and harassment. We are proud to have achieved the Bullying Intervention Group (BIG) Award for the 7th consecutive year. This accolade recognises excellent anti-bullying practice and shows that the College takes bullying very seriously and works hard to promote a culture of respect, tolerance and diversity. However, we are conscious and alert to the fact that bullying occasionally takes place and we encourage you and your child to report this to a trusted member of staff.
Located on the ground floor, our Student Services Team are available to students to provide support when they need it.
Your role: If you feel your son or daughter is being bullied reassure them that there is support available and they do not have to suffer alone. Encourage them to tell someone at College who will be able to help them. They can speak to any of the following people in College, or any other member of staff who they know and trust: • Personal Tutor • Assistant Principal/ Director of Programme • Student Services • A member of the Safeguarding Team
