Safeguarding
At Aureus School, we take safeguarding very seriously. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
This means that we have a Child Protection and Safeguarding policy and Procedures in place which can be viewed on our website. All staff (including supply staff, volunteers and governors) must ensure that they are aware of these procedures in order to fulfil their responsibilities at our school.
Sometimes, we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about student welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about students are discussed with his or her parents/carers first, unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the student’s welfare.
If you have any concerns, please report them to one our Designated Safeguarding Leads on AURCP@aureusschool.org
In the event of Aureus School being closed or partially closed all Safeguarding concerns should be emailed to AURCP@aureusschool.org in the first instance. If there is any immediate risk or if you do not receive a reply to your email within 48 hours please call 07543 183228.
