EMERGENCIES

Near College / in Birmingham:

Serious incidents could happen in Birmingham, near the College or when you visit other cities or
places with college.

If there is a serious incident near the College, your teacher will tell you what to do next.

They might tell you to go to the Emergency Control Room. This is the Rendle Room (the small
classroom by reception).

If this happens during lunch or break or not in college hours, the college will call or text you and tell
you what to do.

In College:

If a serious incident happens inside college (e.g. a dangerous person with a gun or knife), your
teacher will tell you what to do.

This might include:

 Leaving the building
 Call the police, ambulance or fire department: 999
 Hide and take cover
 Lock yourself in a room or cupboard

On College trips:

If there is a serious incident when you are on a college trip, your teachers will tell you what to do.

If you are not with your teachers (because you have free time etc.) you should call the college
mobile phone immediately: +44 (0) 7465992567 OR go to the arranged meeting place if it is safe.
