The Governing Body and staff of Benton Park School take as our first priority the responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of our students, to minimise risk and to work together with other agencies to ensure rigorous arrangements are in place within our school to identify, assess, and support those children who are suffering harm and to keep them safe and secure whilst in our care.
All our safeguarding policies can be found on the policies page of our website or be clicking here. A direct link to our Safeguarding policy is available here.
Policies include Child Protection and Safeguarding, along with many other resources which are fully detailed within these policies.
