Safeguarding is everyone’s business: it’s up to all of us to keep children safe.
A key priority for The John Fisher School is that all adults who work with our students take account of safeguarding and promote the welfare of children and young people. Our aim is to promote a culture of being a safe institution for young people and the adults who work with them.
This is approached by:
-
Developing recruitment practice in line with guidance on safer recruitment practices.
-
Working to promote a safe culture where there is a common understanding of risk management and judgement in relation to Safeguarding.
-
Giving staff guidance and training to enable them to recognise concerns about children and take responsibility for acting quickly on those concerns.
-
Communicating Child Protection procedures to all staff, parents/carers and visitors.
We ask that should you hear, see or read anything which troubles you about a child, do not ignore it, report your concerns to one of our Designated Safeguarding Leads.
