A child-friendly guide to Safeguarding

bishop-019 2023 web banner

Members of the Active Citizen Group, our pupil-led safeguarding forum, have been working hard to create a safeguarding poster which highlights what safeguarding means to them.

We hope that by publicising the finished poster, it allows all of our pupils at Bishop Alexander L.E.A.D. Academy to have a greater, age-appropriate understanding of what the term means.

What is safeguarding at Bishop Alexander Academy

In our school, safeguarding aims to:

  • Protect you from harm
  • Care about your wellbeing and safety
  • Make sure nothing stops you from being happy
  • Make sure you have a good education to give you your best chance in life.
