Safeguarding
Red Kite Learning Trust will, in respect of each member school, act in accordance with, and be bound by, all relevant statutory and regulatory provisions for safeguarding.
The Trust safeguarding policy can be found on each individual school website, outlining the names and contacts for the Designated Safeguarding Leader(s). Each school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of all of its children. Pupil’s welfare is of paramount importance and underpins everything that we do.
We recognise that some children may be vulnerable to abuse and colleagues are provided with training to recognise the indicators of harm. When we have concerns, we will always take a considered and sensitive approach in order that we can support all of our pupils and families. We commit to working closely with all parent(s)/carer(s) and guardian(s) to support every young person to achieve their personal best and remain safe. For any specific safeguarding concerns, we advise that contact is made to the Designated Safeguarding Lead at the relevant school. All of our schools work closely with wider extended services to enable expertise to reach those children and families that need it.
