Safeguarding

We advocate and promote a culture of vigilance at REACH.

Our prime objective is to ensure our learners are safe and feel safe. We regularly monitor the impact of our safeguarding measures and all staff at every level receive regular training.

We aim to safeguard children through policies, procedures and practices whilst also promoting the development of skills for children to keep themselves safe and manage risk.
