The University is both legally obliged and committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of those who are under 18 years of age, or who are adults at risk, within its community. These obligations extend to all who participate in our activities, services or facilities, whether they are staff, students, or visitors regardless of whether they take part in-situ or virtually through online communication systems.

Within this context, the Policy on Safeguarding Children and Adults at Risk sets out

(i) the legislation that establishes the University’s statutory obligations associated with safeguarding children and adults at risk; and

(ii) the measures, procedures and governance structures the University has in place to meet these requirements, including the key elements of the University’s Safeguarding Function and the procedures underpinning the University’s approach to compliance.

The Policy is considered and approved by the University’s Council as the governing body. For more information, please see our Policy on Safeguarding Children and Adults at Risk.
