Safeguarding

Our Aim and Priorities

Our aim is to provide and maintain an environment where all learners are safe, feel secure, are encouraged to talk and are listened to. We have adults at each training centre who are trained to deal with safeguarding issues whom you should contact if you are worried or have any concerns about any aspect of your health, safety or welfare. Throughout your programme we will continue to provide you with the opportunity to develop the skills you need to stay safe, healthy and recognise abusive and harmful behaviours. GP Strategies Apprenticeships takes its responsibilities towards safeguarding learners, children, young persons and vulnerable adults very seriously and are committed to working with local safeguarding authorities and organisations in cases where abuse and harmful behaviours are suspected or reported.

Prevent

We all have a responsibility to be vigilant and help to stop the threat and spread of terrorism and extremism. Our staff have been trained in line with the Government’s ‘Prevent Duty’ Strategy, which was introduced to safeguard communities against the threat of extremism, radicalisation and terrorism. Read the Government’s guidance on Prevent Duty.

Health and Safety at Work

GP Strategies Apprenticeships believes in safe working environments for all apprentices. As part of the induction process, we work with all employers providing a comprehensive health and safety review. This is followed up by regularly evaluations throughout the programme to ensure that everyone’s health and safety is protected. For more details please see our Health, Safety and Welfare policy.

GP Strategies Apprenticeships offers financial bursaries on behalf of the Government for those studying on traineeship and advanced learner loan courses. To see if you are eligible or for more information, please contact us on 0330 1000 610.
