FGM Aware Poster

FGM is illegal in the UK and is a serious form of child abuse.

Forced Marriage Policy

In our rapidly changing multi-cultural society such issues are brought ever closer to our school, so we need to be mindful of the potential for forced marriage amongst our school population.

Keeping Children Safe in Education and KCSIE Statutory Guidance

Statutory guidance from the Department for Education. Schools and colleges must have regard to it when carrying out their duties to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

Prevent Policy

The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act (July 2015) requires the proprietors of schools to "have due regard, in the exercise of their functions, to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism". This is known as the 'Prevent Duty'.
