Keeping our apprentices ‘SAFE’ and informed

Information for parents, carers and apprentices

Safeguarding and Prevent 

NWTC is committed to providing a secure environment for learners, where they feel safe and are kept safe. All staff at the NWTC recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility irrespective of the role they undertake or whether their role has direct contact or responsibility for learners or not. 

NWTC has a Safeguarding Policy which incorporates PREVENT. We have four Safeguarding Officers, two of which are also Mental Health 1st Aiders.

Colette Potts - Lead Safeguarding Officer

June McKay - Deputy Lead Safeguarding Officer and Mental Health and Suicide 1st Aider

Catherine Munro Safeguarding Officer, Mental Health and Suicide 1st Aider

Sara Barker - Safegurding Officer and Mental Health 1st Aider

Apprentices are given contact numbers for The Safeguarding Team at Induction. Additionally they are displayed around the centre.
