Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy
‘Students have a right to expect schools to provide a safe and secure environment’
Our school believes that students have a fundamental right to be protected from harm and that they cannot learn unless they feel secure. We also believe that all staff working in school have a right to personal support and guidance concerning the protection of students.
Any fears or worries that students bring into the classroom should not go unnoticed by staff. It is a guiding principle of the law and child protection procedures that the protection and welfare of the student must always be the first priority. The protection of our students is a shared community responsibility. Failure to provide an effective response can have serious consequences for the student. Teachers and other educational staff are in a unique position to identify and help abused students.
