Safeguarding determines the actions that we take to keep children safe and protect them from harm in all aspects of their school life. As a school we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all of our pupils.

Safeguarding encompasses the actions that we take to prevent harm; to promote wellbeing; to create safe environments; to educate on rights, respect and responsibilities; and to respond to specific issues and vulnerabilities. All of these aspects form part of the safeguarding responsibilities of the school.
