Keeping Who Safe? Adults visiting or working on a school site play an important part in the life of a school, whether helping to build or maintain the building or visiting as part of the school’s wider community. We can all play a part in keeping children safe whilst working on or visiting a school site. This is whether you are directly employed by the school, or working as a contractor or subcontractor.

Mr S Richardson Director of Upper School

We must also take steps to keep ourselves safe.

Do ... Be aware that verbal interaction with students may be interpreted by them as offensive or as harassment, even if this was not your intention. Report any unacceptable behaviour from a student to the Principal or a Vice Principal in her absence. Be aware that contact made outside of the school environment as a result of you coming into contact with a student whilst you are on school site may have an impact on your employment or personal life.

Don’t ... Give or receive any personal information from a student (i.e. Name, address, telephone mobile number or email address). Accept physical or verbal abuse from a student. DO NOT respond yourself, but report it via the Reception staff to a member of the Senior Leadership Team. Instigate verbal or physical contact with students (on or off site) unless it is appropriate and a part of an agreed reason for your visit.
