With a legal ‘duty of care’ to our children, we seek to ensure that the children in our school are safe, cared for and valued. Key members of the staff and governors of the school receive regular EA training in Safeguarding and Child Protection. The following principles govern our policy and practice:

• The child’s welfare is paramount.
• The voice of the child is listened to and actedupon.
• The importance of parental partnerships.
• The prevention of harm to the child.
• The protection of each child.
