Safeguarding
At The National Logistics Academy and throughout the Mantra Learning Group we are committed to keeping our apprentices, learners and staff safe.
We do this by making sure all our staff have been carefully recruited, trained and DBS checked. We incorporate Safeguarding into our teaching, to equip our learners to recognise when they might be at risk and to deal with situations that may arise in the future.
The National Logistics Academy adopts a strong culture of Safeguarding and encourage our learners to talk with their tutor or development coordinator about any issues they may be facing, not just about their learning.
We have a designated Safeguarding team who are always on hand to talk to our learners, apprentices and staff regarding any issues or concerns they might have about themselves, their peers, colleagues, friends or family.
All our Safeguarding team are full trained to offer support and can help to signpost learners to external agencies when specialist support is needed. We also have Mental Health First Aiders available.
Learners and Staff can also contact the Safeguarding Team via e-mail if they do not wish to talk face to face or over the phone – safe@logisticsacademy.co.uk
