Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy

At the centre of our safeguarding approach we "see, hear, believe and act". This involves taking a "professional curiosity" about families' situations in the interest of safeguarding children. 

Our comprehensive Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy was updated in September 2024. This takes full account of the September 2024 version of Keeping Children Safe in Education.
