Safeguarding

 

TKAT Safeguarding Lead: Hester Wooller (CEO) 

Safeguarding

The school has a clear policy on child protection and safeguarding which can be found in the policies section of our website. Any concerns can be reported to any of the above staff members. We have close working relationships with other professionals, including Health and Social Services.

We recognise that all families have times of difficulty and may need some support. We encourage you to let us know if you need help, and we will do our best to put you in contact with the right people to help and support you.

We believe that an open and honest partnership with families is vital. Problems at home often show themselves in school and vice versa. Communication is essential so that we can support you and your children. Please let us know if events at home might affect your child’s behaviour and emotional well being in school.

Our Safeguarding Statement and Policy can be found in the Policies section of the website
