Safeguarding

The proprietors and staff fully recognise their responsibilities for safeguarding children in all circumstances whether on or off-site.

They familiarise themselves with the current safeguarding legislation and child protection procedures. Our procedures comply with DfE guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education 2023 (KCSIE) and are in line with our local safeguarding children board (West Sussex LSCB).
