Safeguarding

This page offers helpful information and web links for parents about our responsibilities for child protection and keeping children safe.

The Trust takes its responsibility for the safety and welfare of the children in our care extremely seriously and regularly trains or updates staff on the latest guidance and changes to legal requirements.
