Safeguarding at Heathfield Schools' Partnership

At Heathfield Schools’ Partnership – Safeguarding is a priority

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined as:

  • Ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
  • Taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.
