Safeguarding Statement

Trinity High School & Sixth Form is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our students.

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people is broader than ‘child protection’ as it also includes prevention and ensuring the best interests of our students come first.

The School recognises that it has a duty to ensure arrangements are in place for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students by creating a positive atmosphere through teaching and learning, pastoral support for students and staff, training for staff and with working with parents and Local Authorities.

We aim to provide a safe and secure environment in which students can thrive and develop and where all aspects of their welfare will be protected by:

Providing a safe environment and taking all reasonable measures to minimise risks of harm.
Providing arrangements to take all appropriate action to address concerns relating to the welfare of a student

Within this environment we work hard to build students’ resilience to radicalisation and extremism by promoting fundamental British values and for everyone to understand the risks associated with terrorism.

We are committed in establishing and maintaining an ethos where students and parents feel secure in being able to talk confidently to school personnel about any concerns or fears they may have knowing that they will be taken seriously
