Heritage High School recognises and committed to its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of its students and ensures that relevant and effective safeguarding practices exist and are actively promoted within the School.
Where concerns are raised about students’ safety or well-being, we will do our best to help and support them, but there might be situations where we may need to pass these concerns onto the local Children’s Services Department and appropriate external agencies for consideration and support.
We are all governed by the DFE document: Keeping children safe in education – Statutory guidance for schools and colleges. This document contains information on what schools and colleges should do and sets out the legal duties with which schools and colleges must comply in order to keep children safe. All of our staff have annual training and regular updates during the school year on safeguarding.
If you are concerned about the safeguarding of any students within the school you should report this without delay to a member of our safeguarding team.
