Safeguarding Statement

Last updated: 26 March 2026

Your child’s safety and wellbeing always come first.

All our staff are fully DBS-checked and trained to keep children safe. We have dedicated safeguarding leads who handle any concerns quickly and appropriately. We work closely with schools, families and local authorities to protect every child, and we teach students how to stay safe both in person and online.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility — together, we create a safe space for children and young people to learn, grow and thrive.

Our Commitment

We ensure safeguarding is embedded in every aspect of our work by:

  • Creating a safe, inclusive environment where students can learn and thrive
  • Meeting our statutory responsibilities under the Children Act 1989 & 2004, Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018), and Keeping Children Safe in Education (2023)
  • Identifying children who may need additional support or who may be at risk of harm, and taking prompt, appropriate action
  • Ensuring every member of staff holds an Enhanced DBS check and is registered with the DBS Update Service
  • Providing all staff with regular safeguarding training, including how to recognise, respond to and report concerns
  • Appointing Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) who are trained to manage concerns, referrals and support for pupils
  • Working in partnership with schools, local authorities and other agencies to protect children and promote their welfare
