Safeguarding

At Maylands, we have established a safeguarding culture. This means that:

• Children are protected from harm
• There is an open and honest culture to promote the safety and well-being of everyone in the organization
• Children are able to thrive because they feel secure
• Everyone in the organization is clear about their roles, responsibilities and boundaries
• Allegations are dealt with effectively
• Staff and volunteers are protected from misplaced allegations
• The organization shows that welfare is a priority
• Health and safety is everyone’s responsibility

Parents and Carers are able to support our safeguarding culture by:

• Sharing information with staff which may affect safety of children
• Being aware of health and safety risks and reporting them to staff
• Supporting the no jewellery policy of our schools by removing earrings before school starts
• Providing a P.E. kit for hygiene
• Ensuring that uniform is ‘fit for purpose’, that your child is able to move freely, be warm or cool enough and can run without injury
• Providing a drinking water bottle to help your child stay hydrated
• Supporting our healthy school policy by not providing sugary snacks
