Safeguarding

Safeguarding is the action that is taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm.

Safeguarding means:

  • protecting children from abuse and maltreatment
  • preventing harm to children’s health or development
  • ensuring children grow up with the provision of safe and effective care
  • taking action to enable all children and young people to have the best outcomes.

Ackworth School is committed to maintaining the health and safety of our pupils. We take our duty of care very seriously and ensure all staff have appropriate levels of safeguarding training.
