Avocet Academy Trust is committed to Safeguarding and Child Protection and promoting the welfare of children and young people in our trust.  We expect all our staff, volunteers to share this commitment and carry out all the relevant checks to ensure the safety of pupils within the trust schools.

 

This policy remains in place until 31st August 2020 in light of the release of Keeping Children Safe in Education 2021 ( 6th July 2021) and Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment in Schools and Colleges 2021 which both come into effect on 1st September 2021.

Each School has an Individual Covid Addendum to their Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.

Our Statutory Duty is to follow Keeping Children Safe in Education, along with Working Together to Safeguard Children.
