Partnerships
Partner agencies, schools and parents working closely together is the most effective way of keeping all our children safe. As parents, should you have any concerns about your own child, another child in the school or behaviour of adults working with your children we would urge you to come in and speak to any of the safeguarding team.
The school works with Health, Police, Social Services, Early Help and charities to both promote awareness of risks to children, educate those working with children and support families who fall into difficult circumstances.
