Safeguarding and Prevent

Employers providing any form of work related learning have the primary duty of care for students on placements or apprenticeships. This policy sets out Tarmac’s approach to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young and vulnerable adults. This focuses around those on apprenticeships programmes but also encompasses our ethos more widely in the business.

According to Ofsted, 'Fundamental British values' comprise:

• Democracy -  will include encouraging learners to take part in democratic processes and understand how democracy influences all our lives e.g through laws
• The rule of law - will include encouraging learners to research Health and Safety laws which regulate industry or review the Health and Safety processes relevant to their work 
• Individual liberty - will include encouraging learners to discuss the extent that this exists or is limited by regulation 
• Mutual respect for and tolerance - will include encouraging learners to respect other people with particular regard to the protected characteristics of the Equality Act [2010]. They might also discuss their own freedom of choice in terms of future education and career choices.

This Policy is also supported by our Prevent, Bullying and Harassment, Attendance, Diversity & Inclusion  and Whistleblowing Policies. We encourage team working between our learners and also support our trainers and assessors to increase their empathy, observation and listening skills.
