Safeguarding is the broader duty to protect your overall health, safety, and personal welfare - this includes protection from physical harm, bullying, harassment, sexual misconduct, discrimination, and mental health struggles. 

Prevent is a specific part of safeguarding focused on protecting individuals from being drawn into terrorism, extremism, or radicalisation. Both are designed to keep you safe and supported throughout your apprenticeship. 

You never have to handle site-related issues alone, so if you raise a concern regarding safety, unfair treatment, or workplace bullying with your site supervisor and it goes unaddressed, escalate it directly to Rebus Training.

Contact your Liaison Officer, or our Designated Safeguarding Lead. We work alongside employers to ensure your training environment is fair, safe, and compliant. 

When you share a concern, you will be listened to non-judgmentally and taken seriously. The Rebus safeguarding team will assess the situation and create an action plan. 

Depending on the nature of the issue, this might involve adjusting your training arrangements, offering internal support, coordinating with your employer, or signposting you to external support services. We will treat information sensitively and only share information where appropriate and necessary. However, we cannot promise to keep information completely secret if we believe you or someone may be at risk of harm. 

Radicalisation often materialises as subtle behavioural shifts rather than sudden actions. 

Key indicators include:

• Withdrawing from friends or colleagues
• Adopting increasingly hostile or us-vs-them worldviews
• Expressing hatred towards specific groups
• Spending significant time on unverified radical online forums

Noticing these signs in a peer or feeling targeted yourself is a signal to seek guidance - early intervention is focused on support and protection not punishment.
