More information including our Safeguarding Policy can be found on our dedicated safeguarding page here What our students say: “My independent skills have improved but my main issue has been feeling part of a community where people have your best interest at heart and here I can feel safe. At Freeman the staff are relaxed, friendly and interact with students far more than in mainstream.” Ed, student at freeman college What our parents say: “We’ve seen so many changes in our son over the past three years. He’s now better able to understand instructions, think for himself, make decisions and show more empathy for others… He’s been able to step out of his comfort zone and do things like perform on stage, travel by himself and finding a work placement in a shop.” A parent of one of our third year students Call 0330 055 2653 or email Admissions today to discuss a placement.
