About safeguarding support

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility.

The Safeguarding team supports teachers and education professionals to fulfil their responsibility to safeguard and promote welfare effectively.

Our aim is to ensure schools and settings receive accurate information and guidance in accordance with national and local safeguarding regulations.

We provide appropriate safeguarding and child protection training which is regularly updated and support to ensure staff have the relevant skills and knowledge to safeguard children effectively.
