East Riding College shares an objective with all educational institutions and agencies working with children, young people and vulnerable adults to identify children, young people and vulnerable adults who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm, and take appropriate action with the aim of making sure they are kept safe from neglect, physical abuse or injury, sexual abuse and emotional abuse. The College is committed to safeguarding all young learners and vulnerable adults, whatever their gender, ethnicity, disability, faith or sexual orientation.

Working to beat bullying
We work hard to prevent bullying and harassment, and to respond quickly and effectively if it does occur. We hold a series of events throughout the year and create and distribute promotional materials to ensure students know that bullying and harassment will not be tolerated and that they should speak to a member of staff if it happens to them or if they believe someone else is being bullied.
We are running an anti-bullying campaign which bears the slogan "Bullying...Don't stand for it, stop it!" which tells students about the special email address and phone number people can text to report bullying. If you would like to report bullying or harassment at East Riding College, email respect@eastridingcollege.ac.uk or text "respect" followed by your message to 60999.
