Safeguarding

St Saviour’s School is committed to helping children achieve good outcomes by providing a safe learning environment and to enable them to access all necessary available services. The school policy is in line and should be read in conjunction with the CYPES/Education Department’s Child Protection Policy and the Safeguarding Partnership Board Interagency Child Protection Procedures. 
 
We ensure that arrangements are in place to safeguard and promote the welfare of pupils by:

The current DSLs are Mrs D Thom (on parental leave until Sep 24), Mrs K Williams, Mrs S Jones. Mrs N Cordiner is the Deputy DSL.

Ensuring all staff underatke regular, update safeguarding training.

Providing a safe, healthy learning environment that allows them to develop to their full potential.
