On your course …
Contact with
Parents/Carers
Under 18s - At College we value the
support and input of parents and
carers. We know that a majority of
students will have no objection to
parents being involved but recognise
that for a few this may not be
appropriate or against their wishes. If
you do not wish The College to contact
your parents or carers then you need to
inform your Learning Manager in
writing. Unless we are advised
otherwise we will keep your parents
and carers informed as to your
progress in college. This will include
parents’ evenings and notification of
disciplinaries etc.
This policy will apply to all students
under the age of 18 at the start of their
programme and will continue until
their programme ends even if they
attain their 18 th birthday before this
date; unless of course you informed us
otherwise, in writing as outlined
above.
Drugs and Alcohol
It is unacceptable for any student to
bring onto college premises any
alcohol or illegal substance, drugs of
associated paraphernalia. If you are
found in possession of any of these
you will be dealt with in accordance
with The College Disciplinary Policy
and the police informed where
appropriate. If you appear to be
under the influence of drugs or
alcohol you will be asked to leave the
college premises, as you may pose a
health and safety risk to yourself or
other students.
Confidentiality
Information that you share with
college staff will be treated as
confidential and will normally only be
shared with other people with your
permission. Where The College
believes it is in your best interests you
will always be encouraged to give this
permission. There are some
exceptions to the confidentiality rule
and these are contained within the full
policy. Any information shared with
College Counsellors cannot be shared
with any other staff without your
permission.
The Wellbeing team will share
information to support learning as
necessary.
