Kendal College has a strict Drug, Alcohol and substance policy to protect students, staff and visitors.
At no time is it permitted to take, or bring, illegal drugs onto college premises, or for students under the age of 18 to consume alcohol.
If you witness any of the above please report to a manager or the on-duty manager as soon as possible via reception, or speak to your tutor.
