Safeguarding

We take the welfare of our students very seriously.  Our Safeguarding Team ensures that all staff are trained and able to respond to any concerns; these concerns may be related to a student’s home life, treatment by other students or the care provided by a member of staff.  Our comprehensive policies and guidance explain how people should respond whenever a child needs safeguarding.

We have a strict policy of openness and zero tolerance over abuse and neglect, so when problems arise, we may need to report concerns to Gloucestershire County Council. We will always speak to Parents/Carers about the concerns whenever possible.

Jo Bleasdale is our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and is supported by Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSL’s) as set out below. The Governor responsible for Safeguarding, who has received appropriate training, is Wendy Yeates
