Safeguarding at Aspire Schools

Keeping our children safe is our highest priority.

At Aspire Schools, the health, safety and well-being of every child and young person is our top priority.  We expect all staff, trustees and volunteers to share this commitment to safeguarding our students.

We listen to our students and take what they tell us seriously.  All school staff have regular safeguarding training and help the young people build safe relationships, so they always have someone to talk to if they have any concerns.  Staff are trained to understand safeguarding risk factors and are required to report these to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) if seen.  We know that all behaviour is communication and use our professional curiosity to stay alert.

Our safeguarding policy has been written in line with DfE guidelines, legislation, and is updated annually to reflect any changes in legislation.  This along with all our other Policies can be found in the statutory and key information pages on our website.
