Safeguarding
Our Safeguarding Intent
In our school, the welfare of our children is paramount.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting their welfare and expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Safeguarding is EVERYONE'S responsibility.
All our staff understand their responsibility to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
We will work, and be seen to work, in an open and transparent way. We use safeguarding checks in all our recruitment processes. All our staff are given appropriate induction and practical guidance for safe working practice - about which behaviours constitute safe practice, which behaviours should be avoided and what to do if they are concerned about any child in school.
We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy, Staff Code of Conduct amf Online Safety which can be viewed in this section of our website.
Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will discuss any child protection concerns about a pupil with their parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare.
We actively support the Government's Prevent Agenda to counteract radicalisation and extremism.
