Weymouth and Kingston Maurward College: safeguarding context

Known as Coastland College.

The safeguarding context around Weymouth and Kingston Maurward College: what the public record says about the streets, stations and stops around the campus and the journeys its students make, and what that means for the college's child protection policy, written to Keeping Children Safe in Education and Ofsted's further education and skills inspection toolkit. This page describes the surroundings. It does not rate the college.

Harm outside the home across Dorset

Across Dorset, children's social care recorded sexual abuse by another child in a higher share of assessments than across England.

This describes what social workers record for children across the whole authority, never this college or its students. The report sets out every factor beside the national figure and what it means for the policy and staff training.

What the report for Weymouth and Kingston Maurward College contains

An annual report for the designated safeguarding lead, written to Keeping Children Safe in Education and to Ofsted's further education and skills inspection toolkit for the college's students under eighteen. It leads with harm outside the home, because exploitation, county lines and serious violence weigh most at sixteen and seventeen, and it puts the journey to college in place of a school's walking routes. The recorded picture around the campus comes from UK Crime Statistics, our sister service; the rest is evidence a crime map does not carry.

  • Harm outside the home. What social workers across the authority record at assessment, beside England, and what it means for the policy and staff training.
  • The recorded picture around the campus. Police-recorded incidents within 500 metres and a kilometre, from UK Crime Statistics, described as the streets students use rather than as a score.
  • Exploitation indicators. The public signals of criminal and sexual exploitation in the area, and what a designated safeguarding lead can and cannot read into them.
  • Getting to college. The stations, bus stops and interchanges students pass through, with the streets that recur in the record around them.
  • The area around the campus. The deprivation of the place students come into each day, with air quality alongside.
  • Roads. Collisions around the campus involving people aged sixteen to nineteen, in the hours students travel.
  • Policy paragraph, a paragraph for the corporation board and the inspector's questions. Ready to paste, answered from the findings above.

With the report come the staff briefing, the action log and the insight dashboard for Weymouth and Kingston Maurward College, live for the year.
