ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
EVERY LESSON MATTERS Our ambition is that every learner attends every lesson, though we do recognise that sometimes attendance can be impacted by a range of factors.

SAFEGUARDING PROCEDURES Preston College recognises that its staff have a legal and moral duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of learners and to provide a safe and secure environment in which they can study and achieve their potential.

EQUITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION Preston College is proud of the inclusive nature of its intake, which reflects the city’s growing diversity and population. We celebrate and support diversity and do not discriminate against any group. For more information on our policies please visit www.preston.ac.uk . A TRAUMA INFORMED APPROACH As a member of the Lancashire Colleges group we have made a commitment to embed Trauma Informed principles and practices into our college. Trauma is an emotional response to an overwhelmingly painful and
stressful event. This can either be by experiencing threat or danger to yourself, or by witnessing it happening to others. All College staff are required to undertake training to gain an understanding of the impact of trauma on brain development and how this may affect an individual’s ability to learn.
Being Trauma Informed involves a commitment to:
• Respect and value every individual • Understand behaviour as a means of communication and to develop approaches to address the underlying needs • Adapt policies and procedures to ensure that the language used reflects trauma informed principles • Understand that strong relationships are essential to supporting strong learning • Provide a place of safety for all learners through demonstrating consistency, predictable routines and support strategies in our learning environment.
