Safeguarding

Safeguarding and Child Protection are high priorities at Rosewood Free School.

The core elements of Rosewood Free School's approach to safeguarding are:

PREVENTION 

We create a positive and safe environment, through careful and vigilant staffing, accessible pastoral care, support for children and young people, and the provision of good adult role models.

PROTECTION

We follow agreed procedures.  All staff, volunteers and Governors are trained and supported to respond appropriately and sensitively to child protection and safeguarding concerns.

SUPPORT

We work in a multi-disciplinary way to ensure that effective support is in place for our children and young people, along with their families. 

Our Safeguarding Leads are:

• Sarah Clarke, Lead DSL (Deputy Head Teacher)
• Zoe Evans, Deputy DSL (Head Teacher)
• Kata Lajko, Deputy DSL (Assistant Head Teacher)
• Corrina Burner, Safeguarding Governor

Prevent Strategy

As part of Rosewood Free School's ongoing safeguarding and child protection duties, we support the government’s Prevent Strategy.

Prevent is part of the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy. The main aim of Prevent is to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Prevent focuses on all forms of terrorist threats for example international terrorism and far right extremism.
