SAFEGUARDING

Keeping Children Safe

Safeguarding at Aldenham is not just a statutory duty. We believe it is crucial that the children are safe, that their emotional and physical needs are met, and that any areas which are detrimental to their ability to thrive and identified and dealt with proactively. We have well-developed systems to support this process.
