Vaping

As the popularity of vaping increases we would like to remind all of the College expectations around this;

1. Vaping is only permitted in the designated smoking areas on college sites. Students vaping in non-permitted outdoor areas will have their student number recorded and will face further disciplinary action with their Curriculum Manager.
2. Vaping inside any of the college buildings is a breach of health and safety and will result in a parental meeting and a Final Written Warning to be issued.
3. Students are encouraged not to share any vapes due to potential health risks. College will support any student to stop smoking vapes or cigarettes, please get in touch with the welfare team.
