Assistant SENDCO/Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead

Safeguarding Information

Every student has the right to flourish and be safe from harm and abuse. As a professional within Red Balloon Educational Trust; we all have a duty to keep our students safe and healthy. Every Centre has a range of policies, and ensure all staff complete this training to ensure we all understand good practice and how to safeguard our students and ourselves.

Safeguarding is the action taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm. It means:

• protecting children from abuse and maltreatment
• preventing harm to children's health or development
• ensuring children grow up with the provision of safe and effective care
• taking action to enable all children and young people have the best outcomes

Red Balloon Educational Trust has Safeguarding policies and procedures to ensure that every single student, regardless of their age, disability, gender, race, religion, or belief, sex or sexual orientation, has a right to equal protection from harm. It's so important that everyone at Red Balloon Educational Trust knows what to look out for and how to report any concerns.

Safeguarding policies may be available at Trust level or be held by each Centre individually. All Safeguarding related policies and procedures are available on our website.

Due to the role involving engaging in regulated activity with young people, it is an offence to apply for the role if the you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. Safeguarding is Red Balloon Educational Trust's priority. No member of staff will have access to work with learners until all required training has been completed.
