Pros

Students in school and college are amazing and so are most of the staff. Lovely place to be .most of the staff are lovely.

Cons

They use the safeguarding report system for everything. I agree when it's involving serious things or if it involves a student or service user. Staff are encouraged to report everything even menial things that dont involve the student like going to the toilet too many times in the day or that you nip to the cafe one day as you had no student amd were on admin instead of someone speaking to you about it quietly. . If someone dislikes you they will report you constantly meaning your pulled in to the manager who will then belittle you. So many people have left the centre for new jobs due to 1 manager . This creates a toxic place to work . If your face doesn't fit you will not be treated well. If you report bullying to management they will blame you for it . Advice would be if you go there to work; keep yourself to yourself and remember not everyone who smiles at you is your friend. I have worked in education for over 20 years and I've never known anywhere to be so toxic with people desperate to report others.
