Brentwood provides a safe learning environment where all our adult learners feel safe, secure and valued. Our child and adult safeguarding policies are written with the underlying principles outlined in:

• Keeping Children Safe in Education Part 1 2026
• Working Together to Safeguard Children 2026
• The Care Act 2014
• The Mental Capacity Act 2020

At Brentwood we promote a culture of keeping our students safe and our staff are trained to implement policies, practices and procedures which promote safeguarding and the emotional and physical well-being of all our students.

Designated Safeguarding Lead: Ian Hardman

Deputy Safeguarding Leads: Jane Roberts, Russell Irving, Helen Welsh

Safeguarding and promoting welfare is integral to all areas of Brentwood college life. Due to the shared site, staff at Brentwood School and College work to both the Childrens' and Adults' safeguarding policies, which include Whistleblowing procedures, and are outlined in our safeguarding handbook which can be found by clicking on this image:
