Meet our safeguarding team.
Statement
The Local School Board takes very seriously its responsibility under Section 175 of the Education Act 2002 to safeguard and promote the welfare of children; and to work together with other agencies to ensure adequate arrangements within our school to identify, assess and support those children who are suffering harm.
We recognise that all adults, including temporary staff, volunteers and Governors, have a full and active part to play in protecting our pupils from harm and that the child’s welfare is of paramount concern.
All staff believe that our school should provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment that promotes the social, physical and moral development of the individual child.

Reducing Parental Conflict
Some level of arguing and conflict between parents is often a normal part of everyday life. However, there is strong evidence to show how inter-parental conflict that is frequent, intense and poorly resolved can have a significant negative impact on children’s mental health and long-term life chances.
The Reducing Parental Conflict (RPC) programme is aimed at conflict below the threshold of domestic abuse and a link to supportive resources can be found below;

Domestic Abuse Specialist Service
Parental conflict and domestic abuse are two separate things, but it can sometimes be difficult to work out if your relationship is abusive or just in a bad place.
Domestic abuse is not a one-off incident, but an ongoing pattern of behaviour in the relationship. It includes a range of behaviours which, once begun, repeats and often gets worse over time. Anyone can be a victim regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Find support around domestic abuse here;
