Commitment

At Moat House we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children, in line with the duty placed on us by section 175/157 of the Education Act 2002.

We strongly believe that all children have the right to feel safe and to be protected from physical, sexual or emotional abuse, neglect or exploitation.

This policy has been developed in accordance with the principles established by the Children Act 1989 and 2004; the Education Act 2002, and in line with government publications: ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’ 2023, Revised Safeguarding Statutory Guidance, ‘Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and their Families’ 2000,  and ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ 2024.
