Safeguarding

At Brooke Weston Trust, safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and we are fully committed to promoting the safety and wellbeing of every child across our schools. We work proactively to ensure that all children feel safe, valued and supported, both in school and beyond, including online.

Our Approach to Safeguarding

We place children at the centre of everything we do. We believe every child should be protected equally, regardless of their background, circumstances or needs, and we are committed to listening to and respecting their voices. Across our Trust, our schools create safe, welcoming environments where pupils can learn, grow and thrive, supported by staff who understand their responsibilities and are dedicated to keeping children safe.

This commitment is underpinned by clear and robust processes. We follow all national guidance and best practice, ensuring consistent safeguarding standards across all of our schools. This includes safer recruitment procedures to ensure all staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children, alongside regular safeguarding training so staff can recognise and respond to concerns quickly and effectively. Each school has dedicated safeguarding teams, including Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) and Deputies, who are highly trained to provide expert support and guidance.

We work closely in partnership with parents, carers and external agencies to ensure that every child receives the care, protection and support they need. Through this collaborative approach, we are able to identify concerns early, respond effectively and provide the right support for each individual child.
