What do we do at Íæż½ã½ã to safeguard?
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children, their families, and carers has a role to play in safeguarding children.
To ensure we fulfil this responsibility at Comberton Village College, all professionals are trained to ensure their approach is child-centred; what is always in the best interest of the child. No single professional can have a full picture of a child’s needs and circumstances. If children and families are to receive the right help at the right time, everyone who comes into contact with them has a role to play in identifying concerns and the sharing of information, on a 'need to know' basis. The Safeguarding Team will ensure the information is collated and dealt with appropriately.
At Íæż½ã½ã we work hard to make sure that we build positive relationships with the pupils in our care, and we hope that we can support families in safeguarding our pupils and young people.
