Safeguarding

We take the safety of our young people extremely seriously.

Safeguarding is what we do for all children and young people to keep them safe whilst in our care. Child protected describes the policy and procedures specifically for those young people who are at risk of serious harm or have been seriously harmed.

The welfare of each and every student at Springfield House School is of paramount importance and we aim to provide a caring, supportive and positive environment where children can feel safe, are able to learn and develop themselves. Adults in our school take all welfare concerns seriously and encourage children to talk to us about anything that may worry them.

Keeping Safe Online (please also see 'Online Safety' under the 'Family Support' tab.)

Pupils at Springfield House School receive lessons and assemblies regarding how to keep themselves safe when online.
