All of our staff are trained to respond to safeguarding concerns, including allegations against other young people. All of our schools have specialist staff, with additional training and support to ensure that safeguarding is woven through every aspect of our schools and that all concerns are managed effectively and thoroughly.

Our curriculums are designed to support our young people to engage in healthy, respectful friendships and to understand that no means no.

Our culture ensures that young people are able to raise concerns; confident that they will be believed and acted upon without repercussion or adverse consequence.

We recognise the vulnerabilities of our young people and endeavour to ensure that we provide them with schools that are open, honest, inclusive and respectful. We extend this commitment to our families and the communities we serve.

If you have any concerns that you wish to raise, please contact the Safeguarding Team at St Clare’s or  the Esteem Trust Safeguarding Lead, Hannah Longley on hlongley@esteemmat.co.uk

If you require support or guidance the NSPCC have a dedicated support line for young people and their families that can be accessed on 0800 136 663 or email help@nspcc.org.uk
