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.
