“Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families has a role to play”.
Chessington School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the physical, mental and emotional welfare of every pupil, both inside and outside of the school premises. We implement a whole-school preventative approach to managing safeguarding concerns, ensuring that the wellbeing of pupils is at the forefront of all action taken.
At Chessington School our Safeguarding Priorities are:
- Student Mental Health and Wellbeing
- Delivery of an Outstanding Personal DW Curriculum
- Prevention of Child-Child abuse supported by the above curriculum
- Contextual Safeguarding (Local priority to Kingston and Richmond)
