Safeguarding and Prevent

At Northern College, we are committed to keeping students, staff, and our wider community safe from harm. Safeguarding ensures protection from risks both within the family and in wider social settings, including online threats.

As part of Barnsley College, Northern College follows all the same government guidance on safeguarding and goes beyond these requirements to create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment. Our team has the expertise to handle a wide range of safeguarding concerns, ensuring all students feel secure and valued.
