Safeguarding

Everyone in the education service shares an objective to help keep children and young people safe by contributing to:

• Providing a safe environment for children and young people to learn in education settings;
• Identifying children and young people who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm, and taking appropriate action with the aim of making sure they are kept safe both at home and in the education setting.

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families and carers has a role to play in safeguarding children. In order to fulfil this responsibility effectively, all professionals should make sure their approach is child-centred. This means that they should consider, at all times, what is in the best interests of the child.

A copy of our Safeguarding Policy is available on our policies page.
