Safeguarding legislation and government guidance says that safeguarding means:
- Protecting children from maltreatment
- Preventing impairment of children’s health or development
- Ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
- Taking action to enable all children and young people to have the best outcome
- Safeguarding includes child protection, health care plans, health and safety, site security, safety on school trips, anti-bullying work and so much more.
At Archbishop Temple Church of England High School, we are committed to ensuring that every child in our care is safe, supported, and able to thrive. Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) oversees all safeguarding concerns, and parents are encouraged to contact the DSL or safeguarding team if they have any concerns.
You can email safe@archbishoptemple.com and a member of the safeguarding team will get in touch.
