Safeguarding statement:

The Special Partnership Trust is committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils and families and expects all staff, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment.
​
The Special Partnership Trust aims to provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment which promotes the educational, social, physical and moral development of every pupil, and strive to make sure that every pupil in Trust Schools and Area Resource Bases feels secure, and well cared for.
​
The Special Partnership Trust understands and is committed to the vital contribution that all Trustees, staff, parents and pupils can make to safeguarding children. Every member of staff has a collective recognition of the importance of providing an environment that helps children feel safe and respected, and a culture that encourages children to talk openly, and have the confidence that they will be listened to.
 
We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Safeguarding Policy (please see policy below) or we can provide you with a hard copy if you prefer.
