Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.

At Keyingham, we view the safeguarding of our children to be of paramount importance and believe that all our children have the right to be safe, happy and learn.

We will ensure that:

• The welfare of all of our children remains paramount at all times.
• All suspicions and concerns raised regarding safeguarding matters will be taken seriously, and our response will be swift and appropriate.
• All adults working or volunteering at our school will be made aware of our school’s safeguarding arrangements and the importance of reporting any concerns to the appropriate people.
