We know that some children may be vulnerable at times and, as adults, we have a moral duty to protect them, to ensure their needs are met and to support them and their family. As adults working with children, we have a statutory duty to ensure their safety and the healthy development of all children in our care. As a school community, we are strongly committed to working in close partnership with parents/carers and other agencies. It is everyone’s responsibility to ‘take special care’ to safeguard and promote the welfare of our children.
If you have any concerns about a child or adult, please come and talk to us.
You can find a copy of our School Safeguarding Policy here and for our Trust Safeguarding Policy here.
