Valuable safeguarding information for parents and carers
Welcome to the safeguarding children section of the website for parents and carers. As a school we believe that safeguarding is not only about protecting children and young people from abuse and neglect but also their families too. It is our intention therefore to support families by signposting them to universal services which may assist families when they are facing difficulties themselves. We currently have a range of links and resources for parents and carers which are available to click on- on this page.
