Safeguarding
This School believes that it is always unacceptable for a child to experience abuse of any kind. We recognise our responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children. We will provide staff and volunteers with guidance to follow when they suspect a child may be experiencing abuse or at risk of harm. We will work cooperatively with other agencies to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with parents/carers first, unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare.

The site below “Your Life, Your Choice” provides advice and guidance for families, children and adults of all ages:
https://ylyc.worcestershire.gov.uk/
It also provides information on raising concerns; links to domestic violence and abuse websites; gives family support and includes a section on school with advice on starting a new school. There is also a section on Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
If you are concerned that your child may be vulnerable to extremism or you wish to know more about what it means, there is a website that you can visit with a section especially for parents:
https://educateagainsthate.com
I recommend a look at the website as it addresses key questions and gave some useful definitions and explanations.
