Safeguarding
Safeguarding is the action that is taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm.
Safeguarding means:
- protecting children from abuse and maltreatment
- preventing harm to children’s health or development
- ensuring children grow up with the provision of safe and effective care
- taking action to enable all children and young people to have the best outcomes.
Safeguarding children and child protection applies to all children up to the age of 18.
Your Safeguarding Team
At Halley we have staff in school who are specially trained to help you. They are called Designated Safeguarding Leads. It is important that you know who we are and that if you need help or if you are worried or unhappy about something you can reach out to us.
