Student safety

We want to reassure students that safety remains our priority and we have revisited our risk assessments and COVID-19 measures over the summer in accordance with government guidance and recommended practice.

The college encourages all students to participate in two lateral flow tests three to five days apart in the first week of term.  After this initial testing week, we will be asking staff and students to continue conducting Lateral Flow Tests (LFT) at home twice weekly in line with government guidance.

We will also continue to support our vulnerable students, working with the local authority and other professionals where appropriate.

We encourage all students to take up the offer of  vaccination as and when they become eligible. The COVID-19 vaccination is being offered to:

Currently:

  • all persons aged 18 and over can receive both doses,
  • all those aged 17 and within 3 months of their 18th birthday can receive both doses,
  • all those aged 16 and 17 can receive a first dose of the vaccine.

Vaccinations are available at local sites run by GPs or community pharmacies, at larger vaccination centres and in some hospitals.  To book or manage your coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination, click here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/

You can find a list of all the sites that are able to vaccinate those aged 16-18 across the Black Country and West Birmingham here.

The college remains vigilant about new and additional safeguarding concerns. If you have any safeguarding concerns, please speak to Lynn Pass via email or phone:
