All members of staff (including lunchtime supervisors, teachers, teaching assistants, administrative staff and cleaners) have received safeguarding training and will continue to do so on an annual basis as well as throughout the year on specific safeguarding issues.The school works closely with a number of agencies and, where concerns arise, due process is followed to ensure the safety and well-being of the children.
