Safeguarding Policy

These can be found on the Coastal Learning Partnership website here and in the policies section of the website.

Domestic Violence Information Sharing

We have a duty to care to all children in our school.  Our school supports both receiving and sharing information with external agencies in order to protect children.

Therefore, sharing and receiving information to protect children, receiving ‘alerts’ from the police via children’s services about any domestic abuse incidents occurs in this school and is compliant with GDPR.
