Safeguarding

Safeguarding children and protecting them from harm is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and families have a role to play. Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is : 

• protecting children from maltreatment; 

• preventing impairment of children’s health or development; 

• ensuring that children grow up in

• circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.

All Baskerville  School staff  receive appropriate safeguarding and child protection training (including online safety) at induction; all staff receive safeguarding and child protection (including online safety) updates, as required, and at least annually, to provide them with relevant skills and knowledge to safeguard children effectively. All staff have clearance to work with children through enhanced DBS in addition to checks on prohibitions, sanctions and restrictions that might prevent the individual from taking part in certain activities or working in specific positions. 

We have clear procedures in place to report any concerns. Where appropriate, we also teach our learners to keep themselves safe, both within the school grounds and in the wider world. We work closely with parents and wider multi-agency teams to ensure that there is clarity and understanding of our procedures in relation to child protection.
