Safeguarding

Westbury on Trym Church of England Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff, volunteers and governors to share this commitment. The health, safety and well-being of every child are our paramount concern.

Safeguarding is defined as:

* protecting children from maltreatment

* preventing impairment of children’s health or development

* ensuring children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care

* taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.

We believe that safeguarding children is everyone’s responsibility. If we have any concerns about your child’s welfare we will discuss it with you and you may have concerns that you want to discuss with us. We want to work in partnership with you to keep all children safe from any harm and ensure that every family gets the support it needs.
