Information
for Professionals

In line with Keeping Children Safe in Education, it is a requirement that schools and colleges share relevant safeguarding information or files with the education provision that student moves to. If schools or colleges are aware that their students are progressing onto JLC, please get in touch with the safeguarding team to arrange the transfer of files.

If you are working with a student who is involved in any social care meetings, looked after reviews or any other safeguarding meetings, please contact the college and we will arrange for a representative of the college to attend.

If any professionals wish to visit a student at the college, or arrange a meeting onsite with a student then please contact us via email so we can make the necessary arrangements.

If you have any safeguarding concerns or queries that you need to share with the college, please contact us and state whether the enquiry is urgent.
