Safeguarding
"We have a commitment to safeguard our children.
"We all have a responsibility to act if we are worried about a child.
All children have a right to be safe no matter who they are or what their circumstance.
"Keeping children safe is everyone's responsibility."

"Keeping children safe is everyone's responsibility."
Every academy and nursery within the Aspire Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection Policy.
Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with parents/carers first, unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be
contrary to the child's welfare.

Trauma-Informed Schools
Trauma Informed Schools UK is a registered community interest company working in association with the Centre for Child Mental Health. It provides training to ensure that every adult in a school or community has the skills and understanding to respond appropriately to the relational and emotional needs children may display.
TiS supports schools to create a mentally healthy environment and culture in which all within the school community, adults and children alike, can flourish and achieve. It advocates a whole school response and evidenced based relational approaches to provide an enriched environment to buffer the impact of stress that may result from adversity and painful life events.
In addition, specially trained Trauma and Mental Health Informed Practitioners offer targeted intervention to children who may be experiencing challenges within their life that without support may act as a barrier to their ability to fully engage with life and learning.

Mrs Carter is our SENDCo. She works closely with class teachers and teaching assistants to create programmes of support to meet the needs of the child.
If a class teacher feels that a pupil requires support that is additional to or different from what is provided within the classroom then following discussions with parents, the pupil may be put on our school's Record of Need.
Our aim is to support pupils and parents through this process, by explaining each step as it happens, providing support resources and materials if needed and regularly reviewing progress made to identify next steps.
Sometimes, we work with a range of external agencies to provide the best support for children, including:
Speech & Language therapists
Educational Psychology
Occupational Therapy
Neuro Developmental Specialists
Medical professionals
We will be happy to talk over any questions or concerns you may have regarding your child's needs.
