Be aware of and follow all the College policies and procedures<br />
There are a number of policies and procedures for you to be aware of, understand and follow. These<br />
cover things like drug and alcohol use, bullying and harassment. The College Code links closely to the<br />
disciplinary process and it is important you are aware of how it works. In many cases the College is<br />
required by law to uphold these policies. It is your responsibility to read and follow them. The policies<br />
and procedures are available on MyBPC.<br />
With your help we can make sure our College is a place where everyone can aspire, achieve and<br />
succeed!<br />
• If you have any questions about the College Code or policies, you should talk to your<br />
tutor.<br />
• If you are concerned about the behaviour of another student or a member of staff, talk to<br />
your tutor<br />
• In particular, if you are harassed or intimidated by anyone you must report it to a<br />
member of staff as soon as possible<br />
The College takes the safeguarding agenda very seriously and will follow the appropriate procedures for<br />
identifying and reporting abuse and for dealing with allegations against staff.<br />
• To promote effective liaison with other agencies in order to work together for the protection of all<br />
students.<br />
• To support students' learning in ways which will ensure they feel safe and confident.<br />
• To take account of and inform policy in related areas such as bullying, behaviour and e-safety.<br />
Statement<br />
• All students and parents / carers will be made aware of what the college policy is on bullying and<br />
harassment and what they should do if this occurs. <strong>Student</strong>s and parents / carers should be assured<br />
that they will be supported and listened to when bullying and harassment is reported.<br />
• All staff will have an understanding of what bullying and harassment is, and what The College’s Antibullying<br />
and Harassment Policy states. Staff need to know how to deal promptly and effectively<br />
with incidents and allegations of bullying or harassment.<br />
• No-one deserves to be a victim of bullying. Individuals who are bullying others need to learn<br />
different ways of behaving. Everyone has the right to be treated with respect. This college<br />
recognises its responsibility to respond to these issues to ensure a positive learning environment<br />
for all.<br />
• All staff when applying this policy must ensure that students are not discriminated against or<br />
disadvantaged as a result of their race, religion, gender or disability. Any such circumstances that<br />
may arise must be brought to the attention of the College Equality and Diversity Officer.<br />
Guidelines for <strong>Student</strong>s<br />
1 If you feel you are being bullied or harassed, TELL SOMEONE. This may be, in the first instance, your tutor<br />
or lecturer, your personal advisor, someone in <strong>Student</strong> Services or any other member of staff.<br />
2 Oncea member of staff has been alerted they will inform a senior member of staff who will talk to you<br />
about the incident. The alleged bully / harasser will be interviewed separately by their Personal Tutor.<br />
You will be listened to sympathetically and your concerns taken seriously and all allegations will be<br />
thoroughly investigated.
