Safeguarding

Keeping our learners safe is a priority, to ensure this we:

• Have a robust Safeguarding Policy and a DSLP (Designated Safeguarding Lead Person) in the school
• Deliver regular training for our staff on how to protect our students.
• Complete strong recruitment checks on all prospective staff and vet all speakers who visit the school.
• Have installed systems to filter what our learners can access on the Internet and teach our students about e-safety.
• Complete regular health and safety checks of our building, grounds and equipment.

At Rida Boys High School, we take safeguarding very seriously. The School has clear policies and procedures to safeguard and promote the welfare of young people.

We aim to work in partnership and have an important role in multi-agency safeguarding arrangements as set out by Working Together 2018.

Everyone working in or for our school has a responsibility to keep children safe by:

• Providing and maintaining a safe learning environment for children to develop and thrive
• Protecting children from maltreatment
• Preventing impairment of children’s health or development;
• Ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care;
• Taking action to enable all children to have the best life chances; and
• Identifying children who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm, and taking appropriate action to address them, in partnership with other organisations with the aim of keeping the child safe at home and at school
