Safeguarding

At The John Warner School, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is our highest priority — and a shared responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families has a crucial role to play in ensuring their safety and wellbeing.

To fulfil this responsibility effectively, all staff and volunteers are expected to adopt a child-centred approach, always considering what is in the best interests of the child.
(Keeping Children Safe in Education)

We are committed to working collaboratively with students, parents, carers, and external agencies to create a safe and supportive environment. This includes:

• Ongoing safeguarding training and professional development for staff and volunteers
• Raising student awareness of how to stay safe and seek help
• Supporting and engaging with parents and carers as key partners in safeguarding

If you have any concerns about the safety or wellbeing of a student, please contact our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), Mrs Megan Creasey, in the first instance:
