Calderdale College has achieved its 26th internationally-recognised award for demonstrating high health and safety standards.
After securing bronze, silver and gold awards for the last 25 years, the college has received its first Patron’s Award from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.
The Patron’s Award is the highest certification available and shows the hard work done within the college to ensure college staff get home safely to their families at the end of every working day.
