OUR SAFEGUARDING TEAM

We recognised our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children.  We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children and adults feel respected and valued.  We maintain an attitude of ‘it could happen here’ where safeguarding is concerned and promote a culture of openness where children and adults are able to talk and are listened to.  To view our Safeguarding and Child Protection policy, please visit ‘Policies’.
