20 SAFEGUARDING AT ROSSALL

The safety and well-being of all our pupils at Rossall School is our highest priority. Our business is to know everyone as an individual and to provide a secure and caring environment, so that every pupil can learn in safety. We expect respect, good manners and fair play to be shown by everyone so that every pupil can develop his/her full potential and feel positive about him/ herself as an individual. All pupils should care for and support each other.

Rossall prides itself on its culture of open and effective communication between staff and pupils.

OUR AIMS ARE TO: a) create an environment in our School which is safe and secure for all pupils b) encourage our pupils to establish satisfying relationships with their families, with peers and with other adults c) encourage children to develop a sense of autonomy and independence d) work with parents to build their understanding of and commitment to the welfare of all pupils.

WHO TO TURN TO:

All pupils know that there are adults to whom they can turn to if they are worried, including Houseparents, the Designated Senior Lead (Mr Turner, Headmaster of Prep School), the Headmaster, a Deputy Head, Teachers, and the Health and Wellbeing Staff.

All pupils have access to a telephone helpline, enabling them to call for support in private.

Every child is given a care card which contains guidance on where to turn for advice, including confidential help lines and web addresses for external specialists.

Our notice boards around school, the Health and Wellbeing Centre and all Houses display advice on where pupils can seek help, e.g. Child Line and External Listener.

FORMS OF CHILD ABUSE: Child abuse can be of a sexual, emotional or physical nature, it can also be the result of neglect.

Concerns or suspicions may arise through either direct allegation, direct observation or by changes in attitude or behaviour. All members of the teaching and support staff receive Safeguarding Training on an annual basis.
