Child Protection & Safeguarding at Glebe School

At Glebe, we ensure that we provide an environment which is caring, safe, secure, and inclusive, where pupils are happy and are able to achieve excellent outcomes.

We believe that all pupils are entitled to receive an education appropriate to their needs, which promotes high standards, so that pupils are able to achieve their best, become confident individuals, make a successful transition into adulthood, into further education, training or employment and lead fulfilling lives.

We take seriously our moral and statutory responsibility for safeguarding, protecting, and promoting the welfare of all pupils and our community, by ensuring that the basic needs for all pupils are met.

We adopt a core safeguarding approach where:

• Safeguarding is at the forefront of all of our actions, is embedded into our culture and language
• Glebe Community #thinkstheunthinkable
• We are relentless in having consistently high safeguarding expectations and are vigilant in acting in the best interests of the pupils
• Promoting respectful and trusting relationships and enabling pupils to talk openly and confidently
• All pupils have a right to be heard and to have their wishes and feelings taken into account
• Pupils are taught about safeguarding themselves in and outside of school, including online, through a broad and balanced curriculum.
• Equality is promoted - all pupils, regardless of age, gender, ability, culture, race, language, religion or sexual identity, have equal rights to protection
• Our prerequisite for safeguarding includes information sharing and ‘Working in Partnership’ with parents, carers and professionals
• Glebe has a zero tolerance for abuse, neglect, exploitation, discrimination, bullying & harassment
• All staff are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, have an enhanced disclosure from the DBS and satisfactory pre-employment checks
• Safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone to recognise vulnerability, act on any concerns with DSLs and follow our procedures to ensure that pupils receive effective support and protection

We strictly follow Government Guidance, including:

• Keeping Children Safe In Education (2021-2022)
