Safeguarding

“Safeguarding children because every child matters”

We would like to introduce the Safeguarding team

At Ash Green School keeping children and young people safe from harm is our main priority. You have the right to feel safe and be safe. If you do not feel safe at school, at home or in any other areas of your life, it’s important that you know that there are staff here to help you.

Student Voice

Student Voice gives students the platform to share information about how safe they feel within school grounds. Students may login into the system via their devices, when at home, off school site or in a designated space within school. They can write a concern and choose to leave their school email to be followed up, although they may remain anonymous.

The Designated Safeguarding Lead and pastoral care team will securely access the system and appropriately respond to submissions that are made.
