" I’ve really grown up during my time at Southwark College. It’s a different mentality coming to college rather than a school and I like it. Southwark College also encourages students to become more involved in everyday college life and this includes Student Union, Course Representative and Student Ambassador.”

Southwark College is ‘a safe haven for learners’. OFSTED
".. I feel extremely safe studying at Southwark College because I am surrounded by trusting lecturers and they do not tolerate any students showing unacceptable behavious. I also feel safer now I know the rules the college have enforced involving safeguarding. I know the college have decided to have random knife arches to make sure no students are carrying anything dangerous and are not briging anything illegal on site. The college has also become very strict about ID cards and if you do not have it you are not allowed in, whereas before you were allowed to come in if your tutor let you in. Bringing such small changes to the college helps prevent big travesties that have affected other colleges.. " LUCY ANNE CAVE - Student Ambassador
‘Personally, I do feel safe at Southwark College this year because of the new regulations that have been put on in the college relating to the ID passes where every student has to wear their lanyards. The security guards roaming around the college ensuring everyone is safe and wearing their ID has made a more safe atmosphere around the college. Every student knowing and feeling protected and having the peace of mind that there is no chance of an intruder entering the college also adds to that atmosphere..’ AWET ATOY – Student Ambassador
‘Southwark College has become a very safe place for me to study over the years I have attended. I feel safe within the college due to the security guards when I enter the college and their great ability to keep the whole college a protected environment. Also, the regular checking of ID cards has made me sure that learners and staff at Southwark College are those that are studying or working and not others that are not part of the college. Another reason why I feel safe studying at the college is because my teacher makes me feel welcome when in need of help or general study problems. The measures that I know have been put in place for my safety is checking of ID cards and these must be presented at all times and if you do not have your ID card you have to go home and get it as they cannot be sure if you are part of the college. Also there is much more tight security around the college to make sure that no problems occur. ‘ KRUPA PATEL – Student Ambassador
‘… things that make me feel safe studying at Southwark College is that we have security guards walking around the college and they also make sure that only students are allowed to enter the building by checking their ID cards and we have lovely friendly students & staff that will make you feel safe.'
