Evidence of the local risks around this college, ready for your safeguarding policy, your staff and your inspector.

Keeping children safe in education asks you to consider whether children are at risk outside their families. The report brings together what children's services across Camden, the police and the roads record around the campus and the journeys its students make. It describes the area. It never rates the college, its staff or its students.

First finding · Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH) across Camden

Across Camden, no harm outside the home stood out against England in what children's social care recorded at assessment.

See the figures behind it

  • Domestic abuse at home 32.5% of children's social care assessments across Camden name a parent or carer as its victim, year to 31 March 2025 England: 31.7%
  • Police-recorded crime Report only UK Crime Statistics' analysis of the police record around the campus.
Sources and method

These describe the surroundings, never the site. Children's services: Department for Education, Children in need, reporting year 2025.

The Department for Education register does not give this college's own site, so nothing can be measured around it and no report can be ordered for it. The local authority's figures and arrangements below still apply.

Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH) across Camden

Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH): share of assessments, Camden against England, the widest gap above England first

Camden England

  • Gangs 1.8% against 1.7%
  • Child criminal exploitation 3.1% against 3.2%
  • Child sexual exploitation 1.8% against 2.4%
  • Sexual abuse by another child 1.5% against 2.5%
  • Physical abuse by another child 1.9% against 3%
  • Going missing 1.6% against 3.3%

This describes what social workers record for children across the whole authority, never this college or its students, and a higher share can reflect better identification as easily as more harm.

What the report contains

Written for the designated safeguarding lead, to Keeping children safe in education and Ofsted's further education and skills inspection toolkit, for students under eighteen, with the recorded picture from our exclusive partner, UK Crime Statistics.
