The role of schools and education providers in keeping you safe Schools, colleges, nurseries, and other places where children learn have an important job in keeping you safe and looking after your well-being. Teachers and staff often build strong relationships with you and might be the first people you talk to if something is wrong.
• These trusted adults can spot problems early, offer support, and work with others. • Local safeguarding teams work with schools and colleges to make sure they’re part of the plan to help, support and protect you. • Schools have clear rules to follow, like those in a guidance document for adults called ‘ Keeping Children Safe in Education ’, to make sure they’re doing everything they can to look after you and give you a safe place to learn and do your best.
The role of sports and social clubs in keeping you safe Charities, sports clubs, and other groups that run activities and hobbies for children also have an important role in keeping you safe. People working in these places all have a responsibility to support you. Just like teachers, the people in these places build strong relationships with children and might be the first people you talk to if something is wrong.
You can trust these adults, and they can help spot problems early, offer support, and take action to keep you safe. That’s why these organisations are an important part of making sure children and young people are protected and cared for.
