ProtectED announces OCS Group UK as first 'Trusted Partner'
ProtectED CIC is proud to announce OCS Group UK Ltd, part of the OCS Group, a leading UK-headquartered global facilities management business, as the first ProtectED Trusted Partner organisation.
ProtectED is the pioneering scheme that aims to raise student safety, security and wellbeing standards across the UK higher education sector and is supported by other organisations committed to this goal.
OCS will support ProtectED in safeguarding the student experience, sharing insight and promoting improved practice.
