Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility

If children are to achieve academically, socially and emotionally to the best of their ability, their basic needs for safety, protection and inclusion must be successfully and confidently addressed. All children and young people have a fundamental right to be protected from harm, attend school and have their specific individual needs met.

Safeguarding and the protection of our children, young people and staff is a key priority for Aequalis and it is therefore central to everything we do.  Our Lead Safeguarding Trustee - Kerri Monaghan - works closely with the school's Headteachers, DSL's and Deputy DSL's to ensure our schools comply with safeguarding legislation and are attuned to national and local directives and contextual risks. This includes having rigorous recruitment processes for staff and volunteers, induction and mandatory and ongoing training.

We have a range of Trust safeguarding policies and guidance for all of our schools that ensure clear and robust action can be taken when required.

Our safeguarding practise allows our academy schools to provide a safe place for children, young people and adults to engage with us. Safeguarding is a golden thread running through our schools, our curriculum and everyday life.
