Safeguarding

At Finch Woods Academy, our primary responsibility is the safety and well-being of our pupils.

If you have any safeguarding concerns please report them to a member of the safeguarding team as soon as possible so that we can take appropriate action.

Safeguarding children is defined in Working together to safeguard children as:

• 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 outcomes

We ensure Government guidance on Keeping children safe in education is followed at all times.
