Safety and Safeguarding are our absolute priority at Welldon. Leaders pride themselves on knowing the children in school extremely well. There are many ways in which we keep all children safe.

Below is a summary of the ways in which children are kept safe in school:

• Children receive weekly safeguarding lessons as part of the PSHE curriculum
• Daily assemblies supporting safety and SMSC development
• Every child has five trusted adults within the school that they can talk to about any issue
• Comprehensive safeguarding policy, procedure and record keeping as verified by OFSTED in October 2018
• Staff training beyond legal requirements – (Staff must pass advanced safeguarding training annually)
• Regular parent workshops on E-Safety to promote safer internet use
• NSPCC PANTS campaign taught at age appropriate level to ensure children are aware of Child Sexual Exploitation
• Regular Student Council safety feedback sessions
• Teachers share information on a need-to-know basis to ensure child safety
• Termly Safeguarding meeting with school stakeholders
