Cross College Policies and Procedures
These guidelines have been drawn up to ensure that our legal responsibilities are met and that all our students are supported, protected and treated fairly. They are made available here as part of our commitment to open and transparent procedures. They may be of interest to students or anyone considering studying or working at the college.
Positive Behaviour Management - Disciplinary Policy
The college is committed to providing an environment where students and staff are able to work and study to achieve their full potential. The disciplinary policy and procedures are designed to promote positive behaviour by setting clear standards of expected behaviour and allowing college staff to take all necessary steps to prevent or minimise poor behaviour by students.
Disciplinary - Student Guidelines
In accordance with the Positive Behaviour Management policy, these guidelines have been drawn up for students and explain the various stages of the disciplinary process simply and clearly.
Equality and Diversity Policy
All members of our community have the right to access education and training and to achieve success so that they can reach their full potential and contribute towards serving their community. Our equality and diversity policy is a reflection of our commitment to inclusion and to eliminating discrimination through education, training and working practices which will bring benefits to all our students, staff and wider community.
Admissions Policy
The principles of our policy regarding Full-time course applicants is set out in this document. City College handles applications in line with the College’s commitment to Equality and Diversity, its Disability Equality Duty and its duty of care for students studying at the College. Our Guidance and Admissions procedures are guided by a sense of ‘fairness’ and the aspiration to place the ‘right applicant on the right course’.
Be Safe, Be Heard Policy
Students and staff should feel safe, respected and listened to regardless of their backgrounds or personal attributes, and be confident to speak out and know they will be heard.
This policy was drawn up to ensure that there are mechanisms by which they can discuss key issues relating to their experience as a student and feel confident this will lead to action, and that the culture of the college and expectations of students and staff encourage positive and supportive behaviour.
Child and Young Person Protection Policy
Children and young people have a right to protection from neglect and abuse. City College Brighton and Hove holds as one of its highest priorities the health, safety and welfare of all children and young people involved in courses or activities which come under the responsibility of the College. This document outlines our policies in support of this commitment.
Disability Equality Scheme
We recognise that disabled students have the same rights as non-disabled students to access education and training and to achieve the successes that will allow them to actively contribute towards serving our local community. We have a role to play in ending the discrimination that disabled people face that limits their and our potential.
Under the new Disability Equality Duty (2006) we are required to be ‘proactive agents of change’, making sure that our approach to disability equality is central of our work and covers all aspects of the college and our provision. One of the requirements of the act is to produce a Disability Equality Scheme (DES) and Action plan to look at how we close any gaps in results and experiences for disabled students, staff and service users, compared with non disabled people. This DES and Action Plan is a working document drafted in response to that extension of our legal responsibilities.
Anti-Bullying Policy
It is the responsibility of all students and staff to create and support a learning environment free from harassment, threat or intimidation. This policy outlines behaviour that would be considered inappropriate or unacceptable and details the procedures that should be followed when an allegation or suspicion of bullying or harassment is made.
Student Handbook
The student handbook is created annually as a guide for students which can also be used as a diary for the year. It features vital information about how to obtain advice, give feedback and access support services in a clear and accessible form. As such it brings together in a clear and accessible form many of the issues discussed in the above documents, as they are put into day-to-day action, providing an authentic 'flavour' or our outlook as a college.
Expectations of Student Behaviour
We have high expectations of how our students will behave in college. This is so that everyone has the opportunity to learn, to do the best they can and to feel safe and supported. The college's Expectations of Student Behaviour are set out here in detail.
Attendance and Punctuality Policy
Levels of attendance have a direct impact on the success of our students. Learners are more likely to complete and achieve their qualification if they attend classes regularly. The college therefore has high expectations of attendance and punctuality. Our Attendance and Punctuality Policy reflects this.
