If a student feels unwell whilst they are attending the college site, they must report to their class teacher during lesson time or approach a member of the duty team during break or lunch.

The staff member will assess the student’s condition and circumstances.  If they feel that the student requires first aid, they will be advised to visit our medical room for further attention by a first-aider.  The staff first-aider involved will then consider the situation and liaise with parents/carers where necessary. If it is agreed that the student should go home, this will be clarified to a named adult from our student contact details list.

Students must then be collected by an adult, who is again named on the students' contact list. If this is not possible, the college will need written confirmation and permission stating the adult who will be acting as the person responsible for supervision and collection.

Please note that students should not be contacting parents or carers directly during school hours via mobile phones, we need to manage safeguarding protocols and ensure that we control records of students arriving on and off site.
