Hyde Park Schools
Safeguarding at Our School
Safeguarding our pupils is the most important thing we do at Hyde Park Schools. It is everyone's responsibility to make sure that children are kept safe from harm, and our entire staff is trained to be vigilant and act in the best interests of every child.
Our approach to safeguarding is guided by two key principles:
- Protecting from Harm: We protect children from maltreatment and a wide range of harm, including bullying, neglect, and abuse.
- Supporting Development: We take active steps to ensure that children's health, mental health, and emotional development are not impaired.
We have a clear set of policies and procedures that all staff follow to protect our pupils. Our staff are trained to be alert to any signs of abuse or neglect and know how to report any concerns they may have. We work in close partnership with parents and external agencies to ensure that our pupils are safe both inside and outside of school.
Our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs)
If you have any concerns about a child's welfare or safety, no matter how small, please speak to one of our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs). Our DSLs have specialist training and are the first point of contact for all safeguarding matters.
