Three main elements to our child protection policy:
- Prevention by creating a safe and supportive school atmosphere and pastoral oversight given to pupils/students in accordance with the School’s mission and values and the Christian commitment we embrace.
- Protection by following agreed on procedures, ensuring staff are trained and granted necessary support to respond appropriately and sensitively to child protection concerns.
- Support for pupils who may have been abused or at risk of any significant harm.
- Model a contemporary workplace at the School that is faith-filled, collaborative, consultative, and lawfully compliant in
