About
Safeguarding
"Wiltshire College & University Centre holds the protection, safety, health, wellbeing and welfare of all of its students as paramount”
We believe that all of our students have a right to protection from abuse and to the support they need to reach their full potential.
The College provides several support services including a dedicated safeguarding team, wellbeing advisors, counselling service, and equality and diversity. For further information on any of these services please email: safe@wiltshire.ac.uk.
If you have any concerns about yourself, your friends or other students in terms of safeguarding, radicalisation or exploitation report this to a member of staff or directly to the safeguarding team.
