Safeguarding...how do we keep your child safe?

 

Safeguarding encompasses all the things we do to protect our pupils.  All schools have a legal duty to protect pupils and at Town Farm our duty of care is to our pupils above everything else.  Safeguarding includes child protection, health and safety, poor attendance or late punctuality, anti-bullying and preventing peer-on-peer abuse, preventing risk of radicalisation, e-safety, disclosure and barring checks on staff and adults in the school and behaviour including ensuring no discrimination based on race, cultural background, sexual identity/orientation, disability, religion or gender.  All staff have annual training including an assessment test, as well as termly updates to ensure they are vigilant and keeping child safety at the forefront of what they do.
