Educating pupils about safeguarding is essential in helping them understand how to stay safe, make good choices, and know where to turn for help. By teaching children about personal safety, healthy relationships, and their rights, we empower them to speak up, stay safe, and support others. Safeguarding education builds confidence, awareness, and responsibility, helping our pupils grow into caring, informed, and resilient individuals.
To ensure that our safeguarding messages resonate throughout the school community, we integrate safeguarding education into whole-school assemblies and our tailored Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) schemes of work. This approach fosters a consistent understanding of safety issues across all year groups and allows for open discussion among students.
Additionally, we are proud to introduce our 'Safe Squad', a group of dedicated child ambassadors who play an essential role in promoting safety messages among their peers. These ambassadors not only advocate for safe practices but also serve as a vital voice for others, encouraging a culture of support and vigilance within our school environment. At Redwood, we are committed to nurturing a safe, informed, and inclusive space for every child.
