SAFEGUARDING

 

As a school we play an essential role in protecting children from abuse. We have regular contact with children and so are in a strong position to identify signs of abuse and neglect.

As a school we can safeguard children by:

  • creating safe environments for children through robust safeguarding practices
  • ensuring that adults who work in school, including volunteers, don't pose a risk to children
  • making sure staff are trained, know how to respond to concerns and keep-up-to-date with policy and practice
  • teaching children about staying safe
  • Creating and maintaining an environment where children feel confident to approach any member of staff if they have a worry or problem.
