What is Safeguarding?

Safeguarding means protecting people’s health, welfare, and human rights, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse, and neglect. For as long as you are studying with us, we have a duty of care to look after you.

We have a dedicated BPP Safeguarding Team, who work directly with learners, BPP teams and external agencies to ensure safety and support.

Prevent

What is Prevent?

Prevent is the strategy adopted by the Government to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given appropriate advice and support. At BPP we are committed to safeguarding learners from radicalisation, extremism, and the threat of terrorism. Protecting people vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism is the aim of Prevent, and as such, at BPP, this duty sits with the Safeguarding Team.

Prevent

Prevent helps safeguard people who may be vulnerable to radicalisation or being drawn into terrorism.

Be Aware

All BPP Staff have a responsibility to be aware of the Prevent duty and to encourage students to be diligent.

📧 Report Concerns

Concerns can be reported to the Safeguarding Team or directly to prevent@bpp.com.

For more information on the Prevent Duty, please visit ACT Early for advice and information.

British Values

It is the responsibility of all education providers to respect and promote the Fundamental British Values, and to discuss the threat of radicalisation with their students.

The Department of Education has specified the Fundamental British Values as:

At BPP we feel the best way to embody these values is through mutual respect, understanding and support, and to enable students to gain appreciation and respect for their own and other cultures.

By cultivating a diverse student population, by having rules and guidelines by which we study and socialise, and by giving our student body a voice, we can embed these values into the learning journey.

We aim to help learners develop and cultivate the life skills that will see them become an integral member of society and an informed participant in our democratic process, by encouraging respect for others, and a positive contribution to both BPP and wider society. 

Online Safety

At BPP we understand the importance of promoting the safeguarding of our learners when using devices over the internet, safeguarding them from potentially harmful and inappropriate online material. We encourage all learners to have an awareness of the risks that exist online, and ways to combat these risks- in order to protect against online abuse, cyber-crime and security risks.

If learners need to seek support if they are concerned or upset by something they have seen online, they can get in touch with the safeguarding team, and we will discuss support options with them.

Consent and Communication

Everyone can benefit from learning about consent and what it means in practice.
