Everyone's responsibility

Safeguarding

For all the right reasons, safeguarding is a serious topic. Every staff member must promote and safeguard the welfare of children. The school has procedures (laid out in the staff handbook) which detail exact expectation. All staff must continuously develop knowledge, understanding and skills as required by the school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).
