Commitment to safeguarding
At Alder Grange the welfare of the child is paramount. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment.
Staff should understand their responsibility to safeguarding they are responsible for their own actions and behaviour and should avoid any conduct which would lead any reasonable person to question their motivation and intentions. Staff should work, and be seen to work, in an open and transparent way.
Attitudes towards promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children will be scrutinised during selection.
