Parent Safeguarding

Nether Stowe School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

We recognise that this is the responsibility of everyone working and visiting the school and that we all have an important role to play.

We firmly believe that:

All children have the right to be protected from harm.
Children need to feel safe and to be safe in our school.
We can contribute to the prevention of abuse including physical, sexual, emotional, neglect, bullying, extreme behaviours, discriminatory views and risk-taking behaviour.
Children need support that matches their individual needs, including those who may have experienced abuse.
