Safeguarding and Prevent
Boston College places the highest priority on the safety and well being of learners, and is committed to creating and maintaining a friendly, welcoming and safe working environment for all learners. This includes learning taking place off College premises.
The Government's strategy to stop people becoming involved in violent extremism or supporting terrorism in all its forms is called 'Prevent'
As a college, we also have specific 'Prevent' duties. Prevent is part of the government's counter-terrorism strategy and helps support and protect those learners that might be vulnerable to radicalisation.
For more information on the College's Prevent duties and safeguarding, please read our 'A Guide for Parents Extremism and Radicalisation' and 'Safeguarding Policy'. Alternatively, if you would like to speak to a member of the Safeguarding Team, please call 01205 365701 or email safeguarding@boston.ac.uk
