Our mission is to provide a safe place to be, with a focus on values of care for, and understanding of, others - their wellbeing; physical, mental and emotional.

We work in mutuality with families and the local community. 

Policy

Every school has a school specific safeguarding policy that meets the statutory requirements, including Keeping Children Safe in Education and covers the context of the school. These policies are updated on an annual basis and are checked by the safeguarding lead for the Trust. 

Please visit the school websites to view the individual safeguarding policies: 

• Bradfield School
• Chaucer School
• Forge Valley School
• Hallam Primary School
• Hillsborough Nursery and Primary School
• Meynell Nursery and Primary School
• Southey Green Primary School & Nurseries
• Tapton School
• Wisewood Primary School

Staff Training

All staff and governance colleagues complete safeguarding training in line with requirements. 

Staff Wellbeing

There is a commitment from the Trust and Trustees to ensure that all staff are safeguarded. There are a series of polices in place to ensure this, including: 

• Lone Working
• Code of Conduct 
• Acceptable Use.

Governance

We have a named Trustee who has oversight of safeguarding and works closely with the Trust lead for safeguarding. Each school also has a named safeguarding governor who has a school responsibility to ensure all statutory duties and best practice are in place.
