Safeguarding
What is Safeguarding and Child Protection?
Safeguarding is all about taking action to ensure children’s well-being and protecting them from harm.
We will ensure that
- The welfare of the child is paramount.
- All children, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious belief have the right to be protected from harm.
- All suspicions or allegations of abuse will be taken seriously and responded to.
- All staff and volunteers have a responsibility to report concerns to the Designated Safeguarding Leads.
Safeguarding means:
If you are concerned about a child, you must share your concerns today with a Designated Safeguarding Lead.
