UHI Central Safeguarding

Safeguarding information for students enrolled through the UHI Executive Office, including Centre for History and Optometry. Also covers all UHI Residencies.

All staff have a duty of care to respond appropriately to any protection concerns relating to the young people we come into contact with.

• Staff are here to listen to any concerns that you have for yourself or a fellow student.
• Staff will not make assumptions about whether harm/abuse has taken place.
• Staff want to reassure you and will be sensitive to any anxieties you have. Staff cannot guarantee confidentiality.
• Staff will have to pass on information to the relevant Safeguarding Co-ordinator or appropriate contact and ensure that you are kept safe.
• Staff will record everything you tell them and will keep you informed of what happens at every step of the process.
