Commitment to safeguarding
It is our belief at that effective safeguarding of children puts children at the centre of a culture where we listen and respond to what they say. Safeguarding is every adult's responsibility. Every individual within our school will play their part, along with professionals from other agencies, in meeting the needs of every one of our children. Children will be taught about safeguarding issues. Our school aims to provide a safe environment and vigilant culture where children and young people can learn and be safeguarded. If there are safeguarding concerns we will respond with appropriate action in a timely manner.
