Safeguarding Statement
Which house will my child live in?
Alderwasley Hall School is committed to keeping our children safe. By providing a safe environment for children to live, learn and play and by identifying children who are, or may be, suffering harm, the school will endeavor to ensure they are kept safe both at school and at home.
At Alderwasley Hall School we have 3 houses: Griffin House, Phoenix House, and Farm View The house chosen for your child is determined as part of their care assessment. Residential care staff will identify what your child ’ s abilities are and assess how they will manage within each house. It is important that we have an accurate picture of your child so that we ensure that they are happy and able to make the most of their potential.
To achieve this, we have systems in place which are designed to:
• Create and maintain a safe living and learning environment. • Identify child welfare concerns and take appropriate action. • Use the curriculum to enable our children to develop keep safe strategies. • Operate safer recruitment and selection procedures to prevent unsuitable people working with our children. Anyone visiting the school shares the responsibility to keep children safe whilst on our premises and will be required to work within the guidelines of our safeguarding procedures. Our safeguarding policies can be viewed in the policies section of the website. If at any time you have concerns about the welfare of a child please contact the school office on 01629 822586 and you will be put through to a member of our safeguarding team immediately. For more detailed information, please ask to see our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy which is part of a set of policies designed to create a safe environment for our children. All of these policies are located on the school website or are available on request from the school office.
