Harris Federation Post 16

Known as Harris Sixth Form.

  • Sixth form centres
  • CR0 1LH
  • Croydon Safeguarding Children Partnership

Evidence of the local risks around this sixth form, 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 Croydon, the police and the roads record around the campus and the journeys its students make. It describes the area. It never rates the sixth form, its staff or its students.

£149 for 12 months

Why sixth forms order it

  1. The question an inspector may ask, answered. How do you know the risks students face around the sixth form? The report is your evidence, every figure sourced and dated.
  2. A dozen sources. One report. Gathering the public record by hand takes a day or two. We do it for Harris Federation Post 16 and write it in the guidance's words.
  3. Ready to use, not just to read. The paragraph for your safeguarding policy, a one-page staff briefing, slides for the staff session, and the paragraph for the governing body.
  4. The police record, analysed for you. The police record around the campus, the stations and stops it returns to, and UK Crime Statistics' county lines indicator for the mile around it come only with the report.

Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH) across Croydon

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

Croydon England

  • Going missing 3.8% against 3.3%
  • Trafficking 0.3% against 0.4%
  • Child sexual exploitation 2.2% against 2.4%
  • Gangs 1.5% against 1.7%
  • Physical abuse by another child 2.5% against 3%
  • Sexual abuse by another child 1.1% against 2.5%
  • Child criminal exploitation 0.9% against 3.2%

This describes what social workers record for children across the whole authority, never this sixth form 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.
