We are fully committed to ensuring that consistent, effective safeguarding procedures are in place to support families, students, and staff at school.
Safeguarding means:
- Protecting children from maltreatment
- Preventing impairment of children’s mental and physical health or development
- Making sure children receive safe and effective care
- Taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes
Safeguarding includes child protection, safer recruitment, health and safety, site security, safety on school trips, anti-bullying work and much more.
