Wessex Learning Trust fully recognises its responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. We work together with other agencies to ensure we effectively identify, assess and support children who are suffering from harm.
Safeguarding our school’s community is of paramount importance. We ensure that all our staff are aware of, and have the skills to deal with, any child protection or safeguarding concerns. All our staff uphold our strong ethos and values. Staff receive regular updates as part of their child protection training.
