At MLP we are absolutely committed to safeguarding. The happiness, safety and welfare of all our students, staff, visitors and learners is of paramount importance to us. Our commitment to safeguarding means that everyone at MLP accepts their responsibility and accountability for safeguarding – challenging others is acceptable and is practiced professionally.

 

All staff are comprehensively screened on recruitment and receive appropriate training and ongoing support so that they can act on any concern that may suggest an individual is at risk of harm. All our staff know how to implement the safeguarding policy and why they have to do so. All contractors or others visiting any of our schools have DBS’s checked and/or are accompanied at all times whilst on site. Safeguarding training for contractors is also provided where appropriate. When we work with partners, they have a responsibility to meet our high standards of protection for the children and adults using their services.

 

We support our schools to empower students to safeguard themselves and others and to develop their resilience. We pride ourselves on our culture of being a place where staff and students feel safe and secure in their work and their learning. We will ensure that all necessary steps are taken to protect people from harm and to identify appropriate avenues of support. If you have any concerns about yourself or another person’s welfare, please speak with a member of the Safeguarding Team at any of our schools or in the trust team immediately.
