Commitment to Safeguarding 

Keeping children safe is our number one priority. We ensure that the safety and well-being of every child is at the centre of every decision we make. Connex staff have a responsibility to create and maintain a safe learning environment for all our learners. All our staff are aware and kept up to date with the child protection procedures. As a setting we are committed to the safeguarding of all of our children.

Safeguarding at Connex

All staff understand and recognise that a one size fits all approach may not be appropriate for all children and personalised or contextualised approach for more vulnerable children, such as children who are victims of abuse and some SEND children, may be needed. In order to fulfil this responsibility effectively, all staff make sure their approach is child centred.
