Safeguarding

TEC Partnership is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive environment where all learners can learn and thrive—because the welfare of our students is our highest priority, and safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. 

All staff, volunteers, and contractors are bound by our Safeguarding Policy and share a duty of care to: 

• Maintain a secure space for all students, staff, and visitors. 

• Actively promote student welfare and mental well-being. 

• Identify any student experiencing abuse or harm—whether at college, at home, or in relationships—and immediately escalate concerns to our designated safeguarding team.

Success Coaches

Success Coaches are here to help you with any aspect of your student life, including any issues or concerns that you may have.

A Success Coach will be allocated to every full-time learner and will be responsible for assisting with pastoral support, academic progress and overall welfare while offering guidance throughout your time at Grimsby Institute. All learners will have regular meetings with their Success Coach to review progress and set targets

that will help towards both short-term and long-term goals. These meetings are also a good opportunity to discuss any additional support that you may require and can include:

• Worries about your course
• Additional learning support needs
• Friends and relationships
• Health issues (physical, mental or emotional)
• Self-esteem and confidence
• Financial difficulties
• Family and home issues
• Plans for the future

Success Coaches can also support learners with their chosen progression route, whether that is continuing further education, applying for university, apprenticeships or employment. Your Success Coach will deliver weekly group tutorial sessions for your class, which will cover a wide range of topics relating to your personal development.
