Safeguarding Governor - Rowena White

Our Statement of Intent: 

We recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment, maintaining a culture of vigilance and an attitude of ‘It could happen here’, where children are respected and valued. We will act quickly and follow our procedures to ensure children receive early help and effective support, protection, and justice.

Our core safeguarding principles are:

• The school’s responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children is of paramount importance.
• Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families has a role to play.
• Safer children make more successful learners.
• Representatives of the school community will be involved in policy development and review.
• Policies will be reviewed annually unless an incident or new legislation or guidance suggests the need for an interim review.
• The school will work with other agencies and share information appropriately to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students.
• Actions will be taken in the best interests of the child.
