“The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Leaders make sure that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Staff receive regular training and are vigilant to any concerns. Staff know the specific risks that pupils face and discuss these through regular meetings and briefings. Leaders pursue all concerns rigorously, involving experts from beyond the school where necessary”.
