We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff, pupils, parents and volunteers to share this commitment. Underpinned by our vision and values, it is our duty of care as a school to make sure all our children feel safe and secure.

All staff are trained in safeguarding when they join the school and this training is updated regularly. This ensures staff are aware of the signs to look for if a child may be being harmed or abused. It also supports them in managing any situation that may arise, including correct reporting procedures. We actively support the Government's Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism and all staff receive training in this. Children are also regularly reminded that they can share information with staff who will always be there to listen and support them.

All adults in school must wear a lanyard to identify their role.

Sometimes, we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We endeavour to discuss our concerns about the pupil with their parents/carers first, unless we have reason to believe doing so could be to the detriment of the child. We work closely with Hillingdon Children’s Services and take guidance from them.
