Safeguarding Team
Hylands School holds the safety, health, well being and welfare of its students as paramount. We are committed to safeguarding and work together to ensure that our students thrive in a safe and supportive environment, whatever their age, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual identity or gender.
All staff in the school are trained in Safeguarding and Child Protection issues and are kept up to date with changes in legislation and practice. We take any allegation and suspicion of abuse seriously and will respond to them promptly.
All staff recruited to the school undergo a rigorous safer recruitment process in line with the Statutory Guidance outlined by ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ July 2016 and as a consequence all of the necessary background checks for example DBS are completed before staff begin employment.
