Promoting the health and welfare of young people is a key principle
and as such young people are encouraged to access many support
mechanisms on offer. This ensures that their care, health, welfare
and safety are always maintained to a high standard. Young people
are encouraged to share their joys and successes, concerns and
grievances, and are provided with many means for doing this.
All young people are registered with a GP, dentist and optician
where necessary. This ensures that young people keep up with
appointments and receive regular check-ups. Some carers opt to
keep their own registered practitioners. Where young people
require the attention of any other health service the school nurse
makes the necessary arrangements and liaises with carers and
professionals to ensure that all needs are met and that the
appropriate course of treatment/support is coordinated.
Safeguarding and Child Protection is managed by our Safeguarding
Team who are all trained as Designated Safeguarding Leads. They
have a responsibility for managing, delivering and securing training.
The school works in harmony with the Local Authority Designated
Officer and this ensures that any concerns are quickly and
efficiently managed.
