Safeguarding
At King Ecgbert School we are committed to supporting the safety and well-being of our children and young people and in line with the Keeping Children Safe in Education September 2021.
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children means:
- protecting children from maltreatment
- preventing impairment of children’s mental and physical health or development
- ensuring that children grow up with the provision of safe and effective care
- taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.
At King Ecgbert we believe that:
- Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility
- Everyone has a role to play in identifying concerns.
- The whole community has a responsibility to provide a safe environment.
