# Safeguarding

## Safeguarding

#### All children in school have the right to receive the necessary care and should be safeguarded at all times..

#### According to 'Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026', safeguarding is defined as:

- #### protecting children from maltreatment
- #### preventing the impairment of children's mental health and physical health or development
- #### ensuring children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
- #### taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes

#### Schools are required to safeguard and ensure the welfare of all children - creating an environment where children feel safe. They should feel comfortable enough in their surroundings to know they can confide in a trusted adult if they need to.

#### St Stephen's has systems in place which support safeguarding evidenced by documents below.
