Safeguarding training
All members of the Senior Leadership Team have completed safeguarding training through School Improvement Liverpool.
The Safeguarding Team accesses Liverpool School Improvement's annual safeguarding training and attends safeguarding and Train the Trainer sessions.
Whole-school safeguarding training takes place during the first half-term of each academic year. This ensures that all staff are updated on current Local Authority safeguarding guidance, in-house referral systems, school policies, and duty of care procedures.
Throughout the academic year, additional safeguarding update sessions are provided to ensure that staff remain informed of any changes to guidance, procedures, and emerging safeguarding concerns.
Safeguarding policies, procedures, and guidance are readily accessible to staff through the safeguarding information boards and the school's shared drive.
Safeguarding information is displayed throughout the school using a range of formats, including staff lanyards, notice boards in key areas tailored to different audiences, computer home screens, and guidance displayed in staff toilets.
Safeguarding is the responsibility of all staff.
Monitoring and audit
The Safeguarding Team meets regularly to review and challenge safeguarding actions, procedures, and outcomes. This ongoing process ensures that the school continually evaluates and strengthens its safeguarding practice.
Each year, the Headteacher completes the Local Authority Section 175 Safeguarding Audit to ensure that the school's safeguarding policies, procedures, and practices remain robust and effective.
The outcomes of the audit, together with any identified areas for development and resulting action plan, are shared with Governors. Governors monitor the progress of identified actions and ensure that they are completed within appropriate timescales.
