All of the team at APA believe that Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility.
We aim to provide the safest and best learning environment possible so that all our learners can succeed and everyone feels safe and secure.
Safeguarding is intended to promote the welfare of all of our learners, especially those who are most vulnerable, by helping to protect them from bullying, harassment, abuse of any kind, discrimination or victimisation.
Under the Prevent Duty this also includes supporting any learners who are at risk of being radicalised or drawn into terrorism by challenging the spread of terrorist ideology and providing early intervention which is designed to divert people away from terrorist activity. This does not mean we discourage our learners from having political or religious views and concerns, it is about supporting learners to act upon concerns on the course or in the workplace.
If you feel that you have been subject to, or have witnessed, any of the above, please let us know. We promise to take anything you tell us seriously.
