Safeguarding
Safeguarding at Maple House School
At Maple House School, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. We are deeply committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment for all our students and their families, many of whom have experienced difficult journeys.
​
On this page, you’ll find important information about our safeguarding policies, as well as advice, guidance, and links to trusted external agencies that can offer additional support.
​
Working Together
We believe that parents and carers are our most valued partners in supporting and developing our students. The care and protection you provide are vital in helping your child feel safe, secure, and ready to learn, grow, and thrive.
​
Support for Families
We understand that the world our children are growing up in is constantly changing, and the challenges they face can be complex. It’s not always easy to know how best to keep them safe. This section of our website is here to offer you helpful information, practical resources, and up-to-date guidance on current risks and issues affecting children and young people.
If you have any concerns or need further support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help you every step of the way.
