At Dwr y Felin School the health, safety and wellbeing of all children is of paramount importance. Parents send their children to school each day with the expectation that the school will provide a secure environment in which their children can flourish. The Governing Body and school staff, therefore, make every effort to ensure that this expectation becomes a reality. In order to do this, and acknowledging the scope of safeguarding, a wide range of measures and policies have been put in place.

Safeguarding Policy

The Governors and staff of Dwr y Felin School are fully committed to adhering to section 175 of the Education Act, 2002, which requires Local Authorities and Governing Bodies of maintained schools and institutions to have arrangements for exercising their functions with a view to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. The Governing Body of Dwr y Felin School responds to the objective of keeping children and young people safe by:-

creating and maintaining a safe learning environment for children and young people;
identifying where there are child wellbeing concerns and taking action to address them, where appropriate, in partnership with other agencies;
ensuring that children are listened to if they are expressing concerns; and
the development of children’s understanding, awareness and resilience through the curriculum.
