Les Voies recognises that children can be some of the most vulnerable members of society.  Safeguarding children is everyone’s responsibility, but education establishments and the people who work within them have particularly important roles to play.  These include:

​

• Proactively working to prevent harm and abuse.

• Responding to concerns if they arise and supporting the children involved.

• Sharing information and cooperating with other agencies.

 

Les Voies is committed to promoting and protecting children’s rights, as set out in the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), and is a Rights Respecting School.  Les Voies is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all of its learners and takes a ‘whole-school’ approach, with this commitment woven through everything that it does.  At all times, the best interests of the child must come first.
