Derbyshire County Council Safeguarding and Child Protection

Derbyshire County Council Safeguarding and Child Protection Procedures states that effective safeguarding arrangements should aim to meet the following two key principles:

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility: for services to be effective each individual and organisation should play their full part
A child centred approach: for services to be effective they should be based on a clear understanding of the needs and views of children

Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023): Statutory Guidance states:

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined as:

providing help and support to meet the needs of children as soon as problems emerge
protecting children from maltreatment, whether that is within or outside the home, including online
preventing impairment of children’s mental and physical health or development
ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
promoting the upbringing of children with their birth parents, or otherwise their family network through a kinship care arrangement, whenever possible and where this is in the best interests of the children
taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes in line with the outcomes set out in the Children’s Social Care National Framework.

Aldercar High School takes safeguarding very seriously. The safeguarding team not only aim to consider all of the above as thoroughly and diligently as possible, but also to plan for, and implement strategies to safeguard all those individuals who form part of the school community.
