Safeguarding at William Brookes School: Ensuring a Safe and Supportive Environment
We believe that the school should provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment which promotes all students’ social, physical, emotional and moral development. We recognise that the safety and protection of all students is of paramount importance and that all staff, including volunteers, have a full and active part to play in protecting students from harm.
We have trained members of staff that lead on Safeguarding. If you would like to discuss safeguarding, please feel free to contact them using the details below.
