You will play a key part in maintaining a strong safeguarding culture across the school, acting swiftly and effectively in response to concerns and working in line with statutory safeguarding guidance and school policies. You will ensure that all actions are timely, appropriate, and thoroughly recorded whilst working closely with colleagues and external agencies where necessary, maintaining a child-centred approach at all times.
