Safeguarding
We recognise that children cannot learn unless they feel happy and secure. We adhere to stringent Safeguarding procedures to protect the welfare of all the children who come here.
We are committed to keeping children safe and aim to:
- Create a culture of vigilance where the welfare of our children is promoted and where timely and appropriate safeguarding action is taken.
- Establish and maintain an environment where children feel safe and secure, are encouraged to talk and are listened to.
- Ensure that children know that there are adults within the school they can approach if they are worried or are in difficulty.
- Ensure children receive the right help at the right time to address risks and prevent issues escalating.
- Include in the curriculum activities and opportunities which equip children with the skills they need to stay safe from abuse and to develop healthy and safe relationships.
- Include in the curriculum material which will help children develop realistic attitudes to the responsibilities of adult life.
- Include in the curriculum material which will help children develop realistic attitudes to the responsibilities of adult life.
- Protect children from harm and to ensure that they are taught in a way that is consistent with the law and our values and to promote respect for all others.
- Facilitate understanding of wider issues within the context of learning about the values on which our society is founded and our system of democratic government.
- Provide a curriculum which actively promotes the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
- Promote tolerance of and respect for people of all faiths (or those of no faith), races, genders, ages, disabilities and sexual orientations.
- Make parents aware of the school policies and practices for safeguarding and ensure that, wherever possible, every effort will be made to establish open and honest effective working relationships with parents and colleagues from partner agencies.
