Ultra Education C.I.C is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, engaged in the breadth of its activities. As a consequence, Ultra Education C.I.C has taken the view that in the interests of good practice, there should be a clear policy and associated procedures to guide work with under 18-year-olds and vulnerable adults. 

Ultra Education C.I.C recognises that it has a duty to help staff and learners recognise their responsibilities (through guidance, support and training), minimise risk, and avoid situations (where possible) where abuse or neglect might be alleged. Ultra Education C.I.C has in place an organisational structure for safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. We take the view that all staff and learners are required to take a shared responsibility for the protection and safety of any children, young people and vulnerable adults on campus must be aware of and abide by Ultra Education C.I.C’s Codes of Good Practice. 

It is expected that all parents/guardians (either learners or from the general public) who bring children into Ultra Education C.I.C’s site(s) or any external facilities / events abide by the Code of Behaviour as well as health and safety regulations. Processes are in place to check the suitability of staff and learners working directly with children and young people. Staff and learners across the company will be in regular or significant occasional contact with under 18s or vulnerable adults in the course of their teaching or other work and we commit that such staff and learners have satisfactory enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) checks in place. In line with recommendations from The Birchard Inquiry Report‟ (2004) – recommendation 19 “New arrangements should be introduced requiring those who wish to work with children or vulnerable adults, to be registered”. The register will confirm that there is no known reason why an individual should not work with these client groups as per working with children.
