At St Francis Xavier Catholic Sixth Form College, we recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all students. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued. We are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and follow our procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice.
Our core safeguarding principles are:
• safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility
• the college’s responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children is of paramount importance
• safer children make more successful learners
• policies will be reviewed at least annually unless an incident or new legislation or guidance suggests the need for an interim review.
