(a) create and maintain a safe environment

(c) create an atmosphere of trust in which pupils feel confident to confide any concern

(d) help young people to understand the difference between acceptable and non - acceptable behaviour

(e) teach pupils to stay safe from harm


Pupils are taught about safeguarding, including E-safety as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. All staff within the Trust take welfare concerns seriously and encourage children and young people to talk about anything that worries them.
