Safeguarding
We are building a place for all to flourish through faith and learning.
At St. Ignatius we prioritise the safety and well-being of every child in our care. Here, you’ll find our robust Safeguarding Policy, outlining our commitment to protecting children from harm and promoting a secure learning environment. We work closely with parents, external agencies, and the community to address concerns promptly and effectively. This page serves as a valuable resource for essential information, offering support and guidance to ensure the utmost care for our children. Together, let’s create a nurturing environment where every child can flourish and reach their full potential.
What happens when someone raises a concern?
Staff listen, record and act on concerns, and may share information or make a referral to children’s social care where necessary.
