Safeguarding
Safeguarding is Everyone Responsibility
KPJA is fully is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of all our pupils. We expect everyone associated with KPJA, all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
We are fully committed to ensuring that consistent, effective safeguarding policies, procedures and practices are in place to support pupils, families and staff in all our schools.
All our schools follow the guidance in Keeping Children Safe in Education (2022), Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018), the Governance Handbook. All staff and volunteers will adhere to the InMAT/KPJA safeguarding policy, whistleblowing policy and staff code of conduct.
Our headteacher is the school Designated Safeguarding Lead with the CEO of InMAT being our Trust lead. Our Trust supports our school to make sure our processes and procedures are robust and fit for purpose. We are committed to ensuring that our safeguarding leaders and all staff and volunteers receive the appropriate training to prepare them for their roles.
All KPJA, we will work closely with families for the benefit of the pupils. Staff will make referrals and seek advice and guidance from external agencies such as Social Care if it is deemed necessary. There may be exceptional circumstances when the school will discuss concerns with Social Care and/or the Police without parental knowledge. Our leaders will always aim to maintain a positive relationship with all parents and carers.
