We have a legal duty of care for the health, safety, security and wellbeing of all pupils and staff.
This duty of care incorporates the duty to ‘safeguard’ all pupils and it is the responsibility of the Governing Body and the Senior Leadership Team to ensure that this duty is uncompromised at all times. In performing this duty, we recognise that there can be no complacency where child protection and safeguarding procedures are concerned.
