Child Protection Policy September 2023

As a school and nursery we have ensured we have clear, appropriate and up-to-date policies and procedures in place to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people including child protection. All staff take part in regular professional learning and are confident in responding to any child protection or safeguarding issue, including e-safeguarding, child sexual exploitation and extremism. Arrangements for making a safeguarding or child protection concern are well-publicised in school and nursery.

All staff have been trained in safeguarding matters. Approaches to safeguarding and child protection are an important part of our self-evaluation and improvement activities.
