Safeguarding

We want our students to feel safe, able to voice their concerns and opinions and feel listened to.

Safeguarding means keeping children and young people safe and promoting their welfare in these ways:

  • Protecting from maltreatment
  • Preventing impairment of health or development
  • Growing up in a safe and cared for environment
  • Taking action to enable the best outcomes
