Safeguarding

At Gen2 we will do all we can to help our learners feel safe so they can learn and thrive. Safeguarding about doing everything we can to help people feel safe.  Its not just about having safer recruitment procedures, it’s about having a culture of vigilance where we can act accordingly. We adhere to the statutory responsibilities in Keeping Children Safe in Education which can be found at Keeping children safe in education 2024 (publishing.service.gov.uk) You can also find out more about Safeguarding by watching this video What Is Safeguarding? - YouTube
