All staff need to listen and act to create a safer learning environment.

This unit focuses on what to do if:

• A learner comes to you with an allegation.
• A learner makes a disclosure of abuse to you.
• You have a concern about a learner.
• You have a concern about a colleague.

Your safeguarding policies, procedures and systems make it clear what course of action should be taken if there is a concern. Unless you have a specific safeguarding responsibility, perhaps as a Designated Person, then you should follow the reporting procedure outlined in this unit.
