Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. 

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined by the Department  for Education as: 

● protecting children from maltreatment; 

● preventing impairment of children’s health or development; 

● ensuring children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the  provision of safe and effective care; 

● taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes. 

Our Safeguarding Policy is available to all staff via the School Intranet Page, Staff  Share Administration, Policies. All staff, including supply staff, trustees and  volunteers, must ensure that they have read and understood the policy. 

The Local Authority Designated Office (LADO) is Amanda Hitchcock. 

If you are concerned about a child’s welfare, you must submit the details via the  Safeguarding form as soon as possible before the end of the School day. If your  concerns relate to the actions/behaviour of a member of staff you should report this  to the Headmaster. If your concerns relate to the Headmaster, you must report this  to the Chief Executive of the Prep Schools Trust.
