Safeguarding 

Our Ofsted report June 2023 said this about our safeguarding:

"Safeguarding is of the highest priority. There is a strong culture of keeping pupils safe in and out of school". 

We all have a statutory duty to “Safeguard and promote the welfare of children”. To maintain an professional attitude of “it could Happen Here” where safeguarding is concerned.

All staff are encouraged to report any concerns that they may have and not see these as insignificant. On occasions, a referral is justified by a single incident such as an injury or disclosure of abuse. More often than however, concerns accumulate over a period of time and are evidenced by building up a picture of harm over time; this is particularly true in cases of emotional abuse or neglect. In these circumstances, it is crucial that staff record and pass on concerns in accordance with this policy to allow the Designated Safeguarding Lead to build up a picture and access support for the child at the earliest opportunity.
