Safeguarding at St Philip Howard

St Philip Howard Catholic Voluntary Academy is committed to helping keep children and young people safe.

At St Philip Howard we recognise the importance of:

• Providing a safe environment for children and young people to learn in education settings.
• Identifying children and young people who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm, and taking the appropriate action with the aim of making sure they are kept safe both at home and in the Academy setting.
• Ensuring all staff undergo regular training so they are aware of the most up to date practice in Keeping Children Safe in Education.

We pride ourselves on our Students receiving regular inputs and information sessions which enable them to be aware of keeping themselves safe, in school, out of school and online.
