The Batt School is committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff, governors and volunteers to share this commitment.

We undertake rigorous checks on all staff and volunteers who work in our school and maintain a central record documenting these. Staff involved in recruitment and selection of employees are trained in safer recruitment, and all of our staff and volunteers undertake in-house Child Protection training.

As part of our role in safeguarding pupils, please be aware that, like all schools, we have a duty to share information with other agencies where there are any concerns about the safety or well-being of a child.

Safeguarding our children is built into our curriculum. The children are taught how to keep themselves safe whether 'on or off line' and in or out of school. They have the knowledge to seek help and understand the they have the right to be kept safe by all people.
