Safeguarding
We are aware of our responsibilities to the safeguarding and protection of children in our care.
We aim to have all national and local authority guidelines for the safeguarding of children kept up to date. All staff and governors sign to confirm they are aware of the existence of such documentation.
All staff are trained in the safeguarding of pupils, some at Level 1, most at Level 2 and 5 at Senior Designated Lead level.
Safeguarding training is refreshed every couple of years, in line with national recommendations. The training varies in deliverance, being a mix of online training and face to face input.
We ensure that there is at least one person on an interview panel who has accessed safer recruitment training.
