Safeguarding at our School
Safeguarding is defined as protecting children from maltreatment, preventing impairment of health and/or development, ensuring that children grow up in the provision of safe and effective care and optimising children’s life chances. This definition was taken from The Elliot Foundation Child Protection and training Policy (found here)
