Staff and governors are committed to the welfare and safety of all pupils. The school has robust recruitment procedures and ensures that all adults that work/volunteer with us are vetted through the disclosure and barring service (DBS).

Pupils learn in a supportive, caring and safe environment. This includes protection from abuse. There is a strong culture of safeguarding and as a result, all staff are vigilant for signs pupils in distress. Staff follow safeguarding procedures confidently. Any concerns about children are passed to Hendrefoilan’s designated safeguarding leads (DSLs).
