Safeguarding
Safeguarding and protecting the children is our highest priority. We have a rigorous system to ensure the safety of the children at all times.
The following policies are used to structure and reinforce these procedures.
Behaviour and Relationships Policy
Child-friendly Anti-Bullying Policy
In addition we follow the guidance as outlined in the Department for Education document "Keeping Children Safe in Education", a copy of which can be downloaded below:
