Visitor Information

Welcome to Tower Learning Centre. We hope you will enjoy your time at our Centre. Our main priority is to ensure that everyone who visits is aware of their responsibilities towards making sure all young people are safe.

 

Due to the Covid 19 restrictions placed on our establishment, we are currently unable to have visitors in the Centre, unless this is deemed necessary and arranged specifically by appointment. 

 

If you are visiting the Centre, you will be required to show some ID to reception staff if you are not known to them as part of our Safeguarding/Child Protection policy. Please have this ready when you arrive.

 

A mask should be worn at all times, hands sanitised frequently and a social distance maintained. You should not enter the site if you have any Coronavirus symptoms or have been in contact with someone who has.  

 

Visitors and contractors will be given a badge that they should wear and display at all times when on the Centre premises.    A full Visitor guide can be downloaded here.

  • Before helping in the Centre, all adults will have undertaken a DBS check appropriate to their role and will be asked to agree their acceptance of Centre polices at induction.

Emergencies

 

  • If you hear the continuous sound of the fire alarm, please leave the building immediately by the nearest exit and assemble outside Aspinnals Electrical store. Do not re-enter unless you are told to do so by the designated Fire Marshall or Centre Manager
  • Please familiarise yourself with the nearest fire exits and ensure that any furniture or equipment used does not obscure them.
  • In the unlikely event of an accident to an adult or child, please inform a member of staff immediately. Some staff are first aid trained and all accidents or ‘near misses’ must be reported. You may be asked to complete an accident report form and we would appreciate your co-operation in doing so.
  • If you see or hear something that concerns you, then please speak to the Centre Manager or Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).
  • Any safeguarding or child protection concerns should be immediately reported to a member of staff in the Centre who will locate the DSL.

 

 

 

The fire alarm is tested weekly on Monday at 8.30am.

    Mike Coole - Invest in Youth Lead Officer (Groundwork Cheshire, Lancashire & Merseyside)

  • As a private training provider that has a requirement for its Learners to gain Level 1 and 2 in Functional Skills; we required the assistance of specialists in the delivery of English and Maths. After meeting with Tower Learning, their understanding of our bespoke working needs and requirements led to them taking over the provision of Functional Skills training for our Learners - and we’ve never looked back. Their team of tutors is highly skilled and capable; they provide a quality driven service that has enhanced our provision for both Learners and our Delivery team. From a business perspective, they offer value for the services provided and pride themselves on working with their clients to meet the clients’ needs. We would happily recommend Tower Learning to any Training Provider, School or College that needs a quality provision, with high standards and great client focus.
