CHILD PROTECTION STATEMENT

While visiting and working in our school we expect you to take care of our students and to follow our procedures:

If you are alerted to any signs of abuse and neglect during your visit please follow our Safeguarding procedures, by asking to speak to a member of the Child Protection team and to ensure that all students receive effective support and protection.

If a student tells you something that suggests they are at risk of harm, inform them that you must pass the information on to the appropriate member of staff in school.

If you become concerned about a student’s immediate safety, notify the nearest member of staff and tell them why you are concerned.
