Child Protection & Safeguarding Guidance

During the vacation we have a number of Summer School guests from abroad and the UK, many of

whom are under 18.

Work in accommodation where children under the age of 18 are staying must always be carried out by 2

members of staff.

You will be notified if this will affect you.

A copy of the Child Protection Policy can be found on the staff notice boards


Left property/items in student accommodation No item should be removed from any student bedroom, kitchen or communal area unless the AOC or AAOC has authorised you to do so. If the area has no students or guests in occupation then any items found should be returned to your AOC or AAOC. Please remember to keep a note of what items were found and the flat/room number that they were found in. Any member of staff found to have been removing any items could face disciplinary action. Items of food You should not drink or eat any item of food found while carrying out cleaning services. No items of food should be removed from any student bedroom, kitchen or communal area unless the AOC or AAOC has authorised you to do so. If there are no students or guests staying in the area then items should be removed and returned to your AOC or AAOC. Please remember to keep a note of what items were found and the flat/room number that they were found in. Any member of staff found to have been removing, eating or drinking any items could face disciplinary action. Un-collected items If an item remains un-collected after we have contacted the guest/student then this may be offered to staff members for a reasonable donation to charity or sent to a local charity.
