Equality & Inclusion

We recognise that there are certain groups of people who may face particular educational and vocational disadvantages. The College promotes positive actions and attitudes towards and between all members of staff and students. We seek not only to eliminate discrimination, but also to create a learning environment based on positive relations between members of different groups.

We encourage all students to acquire respect for democracy and the democratic processes, respect for other faiths and beliefs, respect for individual liberty and a respect for the basis on which the law is made and applied in modern Britain.

The College’s Equality and Inclusion Officer will be familiar with the kinds of problems that students may experience. They are available to speak to privately on any matters that are concerning you.

They can be contacted on 0113 222 6000 ext 6107.

Safeguarding

The College holds as one of its highest priorities the health, safety and welfare of all children and vulnerable adults involved in courses or activities which come under its responsibility and we ensure the maximum is done to provide a safe environment for them in the College.

The governing body is committed to ensuring that the College:

  • Provides a safe environment for children and young people to learn in
  • Identifies children and young people who are suffering, or likely to suffer, significant harm
  • Takes appropriate action to see that such children and young people are kept safe, both at home and at the College and issues or allegations of potential abuse, which are disclosed, are reported appropriate
  • Raising awareness of issues relating to the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and the promotion of a safe environment for all members of the college community.
  • The safe recruitment of staff and volunteers

We are committed to ensuring Leeds College of Building is a safe place to study and we have policies and procedures in place to make that happen.

To maintain a safe working environment for the whole College community, all staff at the College will have received Safeguarding and Child Protection training.

Any person can contact the College’s Designated Safeguarding Officers if they are worried or concerned about something that is happening to them or someone they know.

They will be able to provide them with the relevant support to address any issues of concern.

If you attend Leeds College of Building as a student or staff member, you must take reasonable care of your safety and health and that of others, and listen to advice given by staff at the College, including security personnel.

If you are a student at the College or have applied to become a student, and you are worried about something that is happening to you or someone else, whatever the problem, we are here to listen to you. You can talk to the College’s Child Protection Officers about your worries and concerns.

Zuhair Zafar

Design, Surveying and Planning T level
“The lovely Employability Team at college helped me find my work placement with the Morgan Sindall Group at their site in Woodhouse. The project involved a school extension, and I joined as a placement Quantity Surveyor.”

Parents of Molly Fulton

Quantity Surveyor Apprenticeship
“As a parent, I wanted Molly to have a clear career path, and I wasn’t convinced A-levels would provide that. When we visited Leeds College of Building, it was relaxed, friendly, and career-focused.”

Brandon Perry

Civil Engineering Apprenticeship
“I’m fuelled by responsibility, so this course gave me the autonomy to manage my own projects whilst having the safety net of guidance and support when needed. It’s the perfect blend challenge and mentorship. .”

Rye Kilburn

Full time Plastering Course
“My favourite part of the course is just learning the trade. There’s something really satisfying about seeing the plaster go on the wall and knowing you’re getting closer to where you want to be. Every time I’m working, I feel like I’m moving toward my career goals.”
