Equality & Safeguarding Equality of Opportunity Callywith College is committed to meeting its duties contained in the Equality Act 2010. We aim to create a culture of inclusiveness and to challenge discrimination, taking positive action in order to remove barriers to the educational and personal progression of individual learners. To achieve this aim the College will not tolerate unfair or unlawful discrimination. The College’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy demonstrates that the College will seek to remove any existing barriers to all staff, students, governors and visitors, irrespective of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnerships, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. Callywith College endeavours to promote an inclusive working and learning environment, which supports the individuals within its community irrespective of their background. The College aims to promote equality of opportunity by providing full and equal access to all students who can benefit from its provision, and by encouraging and enabling all members of the College to build and contribute to a society that values cultural and social diversity. A focus on learner voice and involvement in instigating change reflects this commitment.

This means that we have a child protection and safeguarding policy and appropriate procedures in place. All staff, including volunteers and governors, must ensure that they are aware of these procedures. Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies, when there are concerns about a child’s, young person’s or vulnerable adult’s welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our children, young people and vulnerable adults are discussed with their parents/carers first (as appropriate); unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s, young person’s or vulnerable adult’s welfare. Operation Encompass The College has been given the opportunity to take part in a project that will run jointly between schools/colleges and Devon and Cornwall Police. Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools and colleges, prior to the start of the next college day, when a child or young person has been exposed to, or involved in, any domestic incident. Operation Encompass will ensure that a member or the college staff, known as a Key Adult, is trained to allow them to liaise with the police and to use the information that has been shared, in confidence, while ensuring that the college is able to make provisions for possible difficulties experienced by young people, or their families, who have been involved in, or exposed to, a domestic abuse incident. We are keen to offer the best support possible to all our students and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.

CENTRE POLICY FOR DETERMINING TEACHER ASSESSED GRADES - SUMMER 2021 Student Life Callywith College has very few rules, but both you as a student and all College staff work to ensure everyone has the most positive and beneficial experience possible. Before you become a student at Callywith College we aim to provide you with information about the courses we offer and the practicalities of being a student here. We will let you know about transport, finance, equipment and progression. If you have any additional needs we will give you details of the individually tailored support you can expect at Callywith College. Once you apply, you can expect us to process your application fairly and efficiently and, normally within three weeks of receipt of your application form, provide you with a date and time for an interview. The interview is a good opportunity for both you and the College to ensure you are choosing a course that is right for you and you have all the information you need. After your interview, a decision about a place at Callywith College can usually be made. When you start as a Callywith College student we will give you a thorough induction. You will receive a lot of new information including details on learning resources, dates, security, health and safety, safeguarding, attendance, assignments and College rules, procedures and policies. You will also be given a student handbook and planner which will give you a record of all the information for you to refer back to. As a student at Callywith College you will accept more responsibility for your work and your progress than during your time at school. Many courses require you to work extensively on your own in College and at home. First-class study facilities are available in the College and successful students use these effectively. We will help you to organise your work, but you will be responsible for ensuring that you meet deadlines. The College requires that you attend regularly and punctually, and that you meet the demands of your course. We hope that you will enjoy your time at Callywith College and the staff at the College will work with you to help you achieve success.
