Safeguarding statement
Big Creative Training is committed to a safe,
inclusive environment where learners, staff and
visitors can thrive. Our safeguarding culture protects
learners from harm, abuse, neglect, exploitation
and radicalisation.
All staff must adhere to our safeguarding and
child protection policies, procedures and codes
of conduct, which set out responsibilities for
identifying, reporting and responding to concerns.
These are provided to all staff during induction.
BCT operates a robust safer recruitment process.
Any job offer is subject to satisfactory references,
an enhanced DBS check, identity and qualification
verification, right to work checks, and other pre-
employment vetting. In line with Keeping Children
Safe in Education, shortlisted candidates are also
subject to an online search.
Shortlisted candidates must complete a safeguarding
self-disclosure form before interview. Interviews
include questions assessing understanding of
safeguarding, child protection, professional
boundaries, and commitment to protecting
children, young people and vulnerable adults.
Equality diversity and inclusion statement
At BCT we believe that the strongest communities
and most innovative creative futures are built through
equity, diversity, and inclusion. We are committed
to fostering an environment where everyone feels
respected and able to be their authentic selves.
We celebrate the diverse experiences and
identities of our colleagues and learners,
recognising that these differences strengthen
our community and enrich creativity, including
through initiatives such as our annual Culture
Day celebration.
Inclusion is embedded throughout our community
and our decision-making. We work to challenge
stereotypes and have zero tolerance for
discrimination and bias. We remove barriers to
participation, ensuring study, employment and
career progression opportunities are fair and
accessible to all.
We are dedicated to advancing equity across all
protected characteristics: age, disability, gender
reassignment, marriage and civil partnership,
pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief,
sex, and sexual orientation, creating a workplace
and learning environment where everyone has
equality of opportunity to succeed, develop,
and progress.
