  • Child Protection

  • Health and Safety

Training is received by all staff regularly and includes updates in which we discuss topical safeguarding questions, signs of abuse, Prevent, online safety, FGM, Early Help support for families, misogyny as well as any other school contextual safeguarding topics.

Child Protection and Safeguarding

The key features of the Safeguarding policy are to:

  • Provide children with a safe and secure environment

  • Ensure there are trusted adults children feel they can talk to

  • Ensure staff are aware of referral procedures

  • Access and act on advice from Leicestershire Child Safeguarding Board if there is any uncertainty as to the course of action required
