Safeguarding
Safeguarding informs every decision, system and relationship at Arise. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff, volunteers, and parents to share this commitment. ​​Our Safeguarding Policies are reviewed annually in line with the latest version of Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) and local authority guidance. ​​​

​Staff Training​
​
Arise Education ensures that all staff (including temporary, supply, volunteers) renew their safeguarding training annually. This means that their knowledge is fresh and up-to-date in what can be a complex and fast moving area of education. The training makes explicit reference to: the types and signs of abuse (now including Radicalisation, FGM and CSE); how to manage a safeguarding disclosure; their statutory responsibility to refer any concerns. A training database for all staff and volunteers is maintained. Staff and volunteers are provided with guidance to follow when they suspect a child may be experiencing abuse or is at risk of harm. We work cooperatively with other agencies to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people. We ensure that our concerns about our students are discussed with parents/carers first – unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare.
Auditing​
​
Arise Education runs its own quality assurance processes to ensure that safeguarding systems and processes are working. The includes the monitoring of School’s Single Central Record, the monitoring of Child Protection Policies and Procedures and the monitoring of training for all employees and volunteers, guidance and support. Arise Education also undertakes the Local Authority Audit in September each year.​​​​​
