    • Safeguarding

    Safeguarding is the action taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm, abuse and maltreatment. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility to ensure that our children/young people stay safe. Each person who works in school, or visits, shares this responsibility.

    At Red Kite, we are dedicated to promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all staff, parents, visitors, and volunteers to share this commitment. We are fully committed to implementing consistent and effective safeguarding procedures to support families, children, and staff at our school.

    Everyone who comes into contact with the children and families in our community plays an important role. Everything we do centres around the children. Their safety, well-being, achievement, and happiness are foundational to every decision we make.

    At Red Kite, we ensure that all staff are highly trained in all aspects of safeguarding, with regular updates and refresher training throughout the year. We also incorporate age-appropriate opportunities within our curriculum to teach children how to keep themselves healthy and safe.

    If you have any concerns in relation to child protection and safeguarding on the school site, please speak to one of our DSLs.
