College welfare services

Middlesbrough College has an extensive safeguarding procedure which aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for all learners who use our College. Our designated Safeguarding Team are available to provide support to students, families and staff.

All staff on campus have had safeguarding training and are alert to the possibility of a student at risk to any safeguarding issues. If they recognise a concern, are told about a concern by a third party or if a student makes a disclosure to them, they have the duty and responsibility to make their concerns known to one of the designated Safeguarding Team. Students are also able to use the College’s ‘SMS texting’ facility which sends an email to a member of the Your role: Inform our Safety & Welfare team if you have any concerns about the safety of your son, daughter or their friends. Safeguarding Team with the student’s mobile number to call back. The College also has a designated safeguarding email - safeguarding@mbro.ac.uk.

The College is part of the Operation Encompass Partnership. This initiative has been designed to provide early reporting of any domestic abuse incidents that occur outside of normal College hours and that might have had an

impact on a student’s attendance.
