Safeguarding
The Local Advisory Committee and staff members of Ravenstone fully recognise the responsibilities and duty placed upon them to have arrangements to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children at the school. We recognise that all staff, including volunteers, have a full and active part to play in protecting pupils from harm. We believe that our school should provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment in which pupils can learn and also promote the social, physical and emotional wellbeing of each individual pupil.
We recognise our responsibilities and duties to report child protection concerns to the social work service within Children's Specialist Services and to assist Children's Specialist Services in child protection enquiries and in supporting Children in Need. We raise any child protection concerns with families at the earliest appropriate opportunity, and work in partnership with them and other agencies to improve outcomes.
