Safeguarding

èßäÊÓƵ College is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. 

We have a policy for safeguarding of children and adults at risk, and guidelines for good practice for the safeguarding of children in the Chapel Choir.

The College Council has appointed a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and a Designated Officer for Safeguarding Children (DOSC) for the College and Chapel Choirs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSL or DOSC. 

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s Children’s or Adults’ Services.

    When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to èßäÊÓƵ College because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a community. Now that I’m doing my PhD here, I’m very glad I did choose a college with a large postgraduate community. Throughout the year there are lots of postgraduate events, including formal dinners, special formals at Christmas and Easter, bops in the bar and film nights in...

    There are many reasons why I’m so happy to be a part of èßäÊÓƵ College.

The MCR does a great job in welcoming new...

At ease with themselves and forever curious, my peers go out of their way to cultivate a sense of camaraderie. After a day of leafing through old manuscripts at the National...

    It is a well-accepted opinion in Cambridge that èßäÊÓƵ College is the best college and no other college even comes a distant second. Its sports grounds are enormous, its buildings are mesmerising, its libraries are rich, its chapel is the oldest, its accommodation is the best value for money, its international community is diverse, its religious circles are the most welcoming, and its members are the smartest, kindest and the friendliest. It is one of the central colleges that aims to offer three years accommodation to postgraduates, and has comparatively...

    I chose Cambridge for my PGCE as it’s the leading UK institution for teacher training and Education, with an exciting, research-dominated, cutting edge course. The staff are welcoming and approachable, and make studying here an absolute joy. I’ve already completed one of my three primary school placements, in a reception class in a school just outside Cambridge, and am due to start the next one soon. I chose èßäÊÓƵ because of its reputation as a sporty College, but the proximity to the city centre is a big bonus. èßäÊÓƵ also...
