Managing your apprentice

Safeguarding referral routes

The Safeguarding Referral Form affords staff, employers and even fellow apprentices the opportunity to raise a safeguarding concern about an apprentice.

The Safeguarding Self-Referral Form allows an apprentice to raise a concern about themselves.

Low-Level and Behavioural Safeguarding Concern Form – This form serves 2 purposes:

• It gives all parties an opportunity to raise concerns regarding the conduct of QA staff towards apprentices
• It allows all parties to highlight concerning behaviour from all parties that may not be a safeguarding concern but could be interpreted as more of a behavioural concern. For example, where a person uses misogynistic language or a microaggression of some kind. This allows us to build a picture and to take a proactive approach.
