Safeguarding

Text

At Inspiring Learners Multi Academy Trust, safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to ensuring an effective safeguarding culture is deeply embedded within each school and across the Trust. A community where children thrive. A community where EVERY child feels safe and secure and are safe and secure, both physically and emotionally, and their well-being is strong, providing firm foundations for their growth as learners.

Our schools follow robust safeguarding policies and procedures, underpinned by statutory guidance, and share a collective responsibility for protecting children from harm. Safeguarding practice is led by trained Designated Safeguarding Leads in every school and overseen at Trust level to ensure consistency, clarity, and high standards across all settings.

We actively promote a culture of vigilance, care, and openness, where safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and concerns are acted upon swiftly and appropriately. All staff receive regular training and updates to ensure they are confident in identifying, responding to, and reporting concerns, and we work closely with families, external agencies, and partners to provide the right support at the right time. By placing children’s wellbeing at the centre of our work, we ensure that safeguarding is not just a process, but a shared commitment that runs through all aspects of our Trust.

As part of our approach to ensuring that strong, effective governance is in place, we have a named Trustee for Safeguarding (Karen Eccles) and a Named Governor at each school.
