Intequal Policies
Safeguarding
What is safeguarding? Safeguarding relates to the action taken to promote welfare and protect young adults from harm. The potential harm that could affect learners at Intequal include, but are not limited to; bullying, inappropriate supervision and unsafe workplaces or working practices. Safeguarding is therefore essential in assuring the development and well-being of young people and adults alike.
Safeguarding is at the heart of everything Intequal do, this is evidenced through our daily operations including carefully recruiting staff and selecting the employers we work with. This helps ensure we keep our learners safe. We also have a specially recruited pastoral care team who regularly communicate with our learners and appointed safeguarding leads. These staff are readily available to discuss any concerns you may have whilst training with Intequal.

Prevent
Prevent is one of the four P’s of the Governments Counter-Terrorism Strategy (CONTEST), with the others being Pursue, Prepare and Protect. The aim of CONTEST is to reduce the risk to the UK and its interests overseas from terrorism.
Here at Intequal we have a duty to prevent our learners from radicalisation and extremism which can lead to the participation in acts of terrorism. Intequal look for signs and vulnerabilities displayed by young adults at risk of being radicalised.

Bullying and harassment
Bullying and harassment is behaviour that makes someone feel intimidated or offended. Harassment is unlawful under the Equality Act 2010. When harassment and bullying occur at work, they cause serious repercussions for employers and employees. They can affect health, work performance and the success of a corporation. Bullying, as a cause of stress at work, should be regarded as a workplace health and safety hazard. Here at Intequal we do not tolerate bullying at any level.
