Safeguarding/Child Protection Policy

Everyone working at The Pingle Academy shares a common objective to keep children and young people safe by active contribution to, and participation in:

•  Providing a safe environment for children and young people to learn, develop and feel safe.
•  Identifying children and young people who may be at risk of harm.
•  Working to support those children and young people identified as being in need or at risk of harm by collaboration with multi-agency professionals.
•  Commitment to active participation in all mandatory safeguarding training events as well as regular updates and briefings.

We have a number of staff that have undertaken enhanced safeguarding training across the academy. This team consists of all members of the Academy Leadership Team and all pastoral staff as shown below:

Multi-agency approach:

The Pingle Academy is committed to the safeguarding of all our students.  As such, we understand that multi-agency working is essential in safeguarding children. Our duty to protect the students in our care from significant harm, depends on our effective joint working with a range of external agencies including both statutory and non-statutory services.  We work in close partnership with a number of local services in order to support our students and their families.
