Grounds for granting and refusing requests for access
Access will be granted based on the availability of facilities, timetabling and other college events. All-access requests will be approved by The Head of Teaching Learning and Assessment and The Head of Safeguarding under the college safeguarding policy.
Premises and facilities
The College will make the multi-purpose hall, the theatre, classrooms or meeting rooms available for discussions between the provider and students, as appropriate to the activity.

This will all be discussed and agreed upon before the visit with the Careers Leader or a team member. Providers are welcome to leave a copy of their prospectus or other relevant course literature at the Careers Zone, which the Career Team manages.
