Safeguarding and Child Protection
Safeguarding determines the actions that we take to keep children safe and protect them from harm in all aspects of their school life. At Charlton House Independent School, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our pupils.
The actions that we take to prevent harm, to promote wellbeing, to create safe environments, to educate on rights, respect and responsibilities, to respond to specific issues and vulnerabilities all form part of the safeguarding responsibilities of the school.
Do you have a concern about a child at school?
Speak to our Safeguarding Lead for support and guidance.
