A positive experience for all
Bader College is committed to supporting and prioritizing the welfare of its students and staff and to the promotion of a positive student experience. Bader College is also committed to ensuring, so far as reasonable possible, a safe environment for all staff, students, volunteers, and visitors to the University.
The college and all its services and facilities constitute an open and predominantly adult environment. As such Bader College treats all students as independent, mature individuals and does not act in loco parentis in relation to students who are under the age of 18 years. Staff members are not routinely screened unless their work warrants it by involvement in a Regulated Activity.
As Bader College admits some students each year who are under 18 years of age on entry, and recognizes that some members of the campus community and/or visitors to Bader College may be defined as vulnerable adults, some additional safeguards are necessary to ensure the welfare of all.
Our commitment
The health, wellbeing and safety of all college students, staff, volunteers and visitors is of primary concern to the university. To this end, and to safeguards children and vulnerable adults, Bader College is committed to maintaining the highest possible standards to meet its social, moral and legal responsibilities to protect and safeguard the welfare of children and vulnerable adults with whom the college’s work brings it into contact.
