Safeguarding Adults visiting or working on the Academy site play an important part in the life of the St Aidan’s community, whether helping to maintain the building, or visiting the staff and students.

Whether you are a contractor, sub-contractor, or visitor, we all have a part to play in keeping students safe. We must also take appropriate steps to keep ourselves safe.

St Aidan’s regards the promotion of Health & Safety to be of the utmost importance for all personnel that attend as students or staff or visit the Academy.

We would ask that you comply with safety procedures, whether written or brought to your attention by other means, for your own protection, protection of those under your supervision, and others who may be affected by your actions.

We want to promote safe practices for everyone on site and therefore respectfully ask that you read and follow our guidelines below:

Concerns 1.

If you see or hear any incident of harm, behaviour or conduct relating to any of our pupils that you report it immediately to the Designated Safeguarding Leads who are Mrs Gemma Hogg and Ms Joanna Jackson.

2.

If you see or hear any incident of harm or conduct relating to any of our staff that you report it immediately to the Headteacher who is Mr Kevin Shepherd or the Designated Safeguarding Leads as above.

3.

If you see or are concerned of any issues of a health and safety nature for example broken equipment or a dangerous area to children that you report it immediately to the school reception.
