Keeping You Safe

At Cavendish View School, keeping children safe is one of the most important things we do.

Safeguarding means making sure that all children are safe, cared for and supported both in school and online. We want every child to feel happy, secure and able to learn.

What Does Being Safe Mean?

Being safe means:

• Feeling protected from harm
• Being treated with kindness and respect
• Knowing who to talk to if you are worried
• Feeling safe at school, at home and online
• Getting help when you need it

If Something Is Worrying You

Sometimes children may feel worried, upset, scared or confused about something that is happening.

You might be worried about:

• Yourself
• A friend
• Something happening at home
• Bullying
• Something you have seen online
• Someone’s behaviour towards you

If this happens, it is important to tell a trusted adult.

Who Can Help?

You can speak to:

• Your Teacher
• Your Teaching Assistant
• A Member of the Safeguarding Team
• Any Adult You Trust in School

Remember:

No worry is too small. We will listen to you and help you.
