Safeguarding is crucial in any educational setting, and this is especially true in an independent special school.
There are several reasons why safeguarding is particularly important in this type of environment:
Overall, safeguarding is essential in an independent special school to protect vulnerable students, meet the school's duty of care, and comply with regulation and inspection requirements. Creating a safe and secure school environment is also beneficial to students’ wellbeing, allowing them to feel safe and supported to learn and grow.
Given all the above, here at TIME we are totally committed to the safety and wellbeing of our students at all times.
All prospective staff are subject to thorough safer recruitment protocols and accompanying DBS checks.
Safeguarding considerations form an integral part of all meetings. We ensure that all staff are made fully aware of all and any national developments or policy changes, particularly the Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) annual updates every September.

Operation Encompass provides crucial information, enabling teachers and Key Workers to play a proactive and informed role in protecting and supporting children today, while also aiming to secure their future well-being. This action-oriented focus concentrates on both the immediate and lasting impact of the support given to a child experiencing domestic abuse. Operation Encompass is a beacon of hope for children experiencing domestic abuse.

Operation Encompass is a police and education early information safeguarding partnership enabling schools to offer immediate support to children experiencing domestic abuse.
Operation Encompass ensures that there is a simple telephone call or notification to the school’s trained Designated Safeguarding Lead (known as key Adult) prior to the start of the next school day after an incident of police attended domestic abuse where there are children related to either of the adult parties involved.
This sharing of information enables appropriate support to be given, dependent upon the needs and wishes of the child.
At TIME we have a dedicated email address for Operation Encompass.
