Safeguarding

Safeguarding Statement

VTC Independent School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy which can be viewed here. Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies, when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with parents/carers first, unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare. We actively support the Government's Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism. 

​

Our Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mr Sean Campbell (Headteacher). Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is Miss Rachael Rogers. They can all be contacted on 01795 899 240.
