Safeguarding

Every person within our community is valued equally and should be treated as such, regardless of their age; gender; sexual orientation; lifestyle choices; race; religion; physical ability or disability.

All children and young people have the right to go about their daily lives without the fear of being threatened, assaulted or harassed. Midhurst Rother College will take all allegations of safeguarding and bullying seriously as we are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all of our students so they can learn in a relaxed and secure atmosphere free from oppression and abuse.

All adults at Midhurst Rother College will listen to students concerns over safeguarding and bullying and will take appropriate actions to ensure that they are addressed in a timely and robust manner. If you wish to report a bullying incident please speak to your Tutor, The Pastoral Leader any member of staff or the MRC website.
