Safeguarding & Child Protection
St. Michael’s takes seriously its responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of children and young people in our care. We give high priority to the health and wellbeing of all children, staff and visitors.
” there is a strong
culture of safeguarding in your school.
The knowledge that your staff have about your pupils, coupled with the high
standard of training that your staff and governors receive, means that staff are well
placed to spot signs and symptoms of abuse. Pupils are safe and stay safe.
