Safeguarding and Online Safety

Safeguarding & Online Safety

Houstone School aims to create an atmosphere in which pupils feel secure and valued.

We are concerned about the welfare and safety of all our students and work to provide an environment in which they feel safe and listened to.

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children includes protecting children from maltreatment and ensuring children can grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care and taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.

The Safeguarding Policy forms a key element of our work in achieving this as is the statutory DfE guidance detailed in Keeping children safe in education.
