Safeguarding

What is safeguarding?

The Government has defined the term ‘safeguarding children’ as:

‘The process of protecting children from abuse or neglect, preventing impairment of their health and development, and ensuring they are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care that enables children to have optimum life chances and enter adulthood successfully.’

If you have any concerns regarding any safeguarding issues please contact Mrs Janice Calvert-Williams, Director of Student Support, Care and Guidance either by email or telephone.
