Commitment to safeguarding
Holy Cross wants to work with children, parents/carers and the community to ensure the safety of children at all times.

Safeguarding is the responsibility of all and therefore all staff know the policies and procedures related to safeguarding. Our prime concern is always the well-being of our pupils and if we act, it is to protect the individual.
