Mountjoy School Safeguarding Statement

• Our highest priority is to safeguard and promote the well-being of all of our children and staff.

• Our pupils are taught how to tell someone when they are hurt or feel unsafe; we listen to pupils and take seriously what they tell staff.

• We pay attention to children’s non-verbal communication, especially of those who are unable to communicate through speaking or signing.

• Prompt and appropriate action is taken if we have any concerns.

• Staff take part in safeguarding training as part of their induction; they regularly receive updated training in recognising and reporting safeguarding issues and are aware of their statutory
responsibilities.

• All staff and volunteers at Mountjoy are referred to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and have the necessary clearances which are checked regularly.
