Safe Guarding Policy at the OPS
Child Protection Policy
a. Life at The Oratory Preparatory school is based upon mutual respect; that consideration of others and of self has equal value and that the promotion of happiness and contentment for all members of the community is reliant upon ensuring that it is provided for each individual child and adult within the school.
b. Safeguarding is rooted in ensuring that the school organisation, its activities, staffing and procedures are aimed at providing an environment in which children and young people feel secure and happy and in which their individual needs are met.
c. Safeguarding will have the highest priority in the school and as a minimum we will protect children and young people from physical, sexual, emotional abuse and ensure that they are not neglected. The school will act to promote and safeguard the welfare of all its pupils in every setting.
d. We will also provide a range of opportunities and levels of support to enable each child or young person to express any fears, concerns or worries that they have either within school or in the home environment.
e. If a child or young person expresses fears, concerns or worries or makes a disclosure, these will be taken seriously and the child protection procedures will be sensitively instigated, always ensuring that the security, safety, happiness and well being of the child or young person remains the paramount consideration.
