Westbury Academy staff and all providers are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
This culture means we have a Safeguarding Policy and procedures in place, which we refer to on our website in the policy section. Each provider will also outline their contextual arrangements on their website.
All staff (including supply staff, volunteers and Governors) ensure that they are aware of these procedures. Parents and carers are encouraged to read the Safeguarding Policy, found in the policy section of this website.
Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies where there are concerns about a child’s welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with his/her parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare.
