• Promote and safeguard the welfare of children and young persons for whom you are responsible and with whom you came into contact.
• Undertake such training as may be reasonably required by the College to properly adapt to the changing requirements of the College and the role or as may be necessary to fulfil the College's statutory or regulatory obligations.
