• providing a dedicated Safeguarding Officer who meets all under 18s on a weekly basis.
• taking attendance and monitoring student behaviour.
• ensuring that students are supervised during lessons and trips.
• adhering to the University Safeguarding Vulnerable groups policy.
• providing students with a 24-hour emergency contact number.
• providing each student with an under 18s handbook.
• checking all homestay providers are DBR by the accommodation providers
• ensuring trips and activities will be age appropriate with risk assessments undertaken
