Safeguarding at Comberton Sixth Form

If you are worried yourself, or have concerns about a friend, colleague, or young person from Comberton Sixth Form, please reach out to us at safeguarding@combertonvc.org.

In the Sixth Form, Mrs Sarah Thomas (Deputy Head of Sixth Form, Support & Wellbeing) and Jeremy Frost (Head of Sixth Form) oversee safeguarding concerns. 

Safeguarding is Everyone's Responsibility 

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people is everyone’s responsibility.  Everyone who comes into contact with students, their families, and carers has a role to play in safeguarding. 

To ensure we fulfil this responsibility at Comberton Sixth Form, all professionals are trained to ensure their approach is student-centred; what is always in the best interest of the student.  No single professional can have a full picture of a student's needs and circumstances. If young people and families are to receive the right help at the right time, everyone who comes into contact with them has a role to play in identifying concerns and the sharing of information, on a 'need to know' basis. The Safeguarding Team will ensure the information is collated and dealt with appropriately. 

A copy of our safeguarding policy can be found here.

 

At Comberton Village College and Sixth Form a whole group of poeple make up the Safeguarding Team:
