Safeguarding

Rugby School firmly believes all children have a right to achieve their potential and to be protected from all forms of harm. Our staff have a particularly important role in safeguarding our children as they are in a position to identify concerns early and take action to secure help for children who need it.

We take a child-centred approach to safeguarding and emphasise the need to listen to children and to pay attention to changes in behaviour, presentation and demeanour, as these may be indicators of a safeguarding concern.

The Governing Body, the Head Master and all staff are committed to the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of all the children in their care. Our safeguarding policy applies to all staff, governors and adult volunteers and to contact both inside and outside normal School hours.

We are committed to implementing good safeguarding practice and recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and that anyone can make a referral to social care. We follow the procedures of the Warwickshire Safeguarding Children Partnership Guidance on making a referral which can be found at www.safeguardingwarwickshire.co.uk/safeguarding-children.
