Safeguarding

Coopers School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and requires all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Enhanced DBS checks are carried out on all staff.

Director of Safeguarding - Ms Willis 
Deputy DSL & Lead Practitioner - Ms Costin
Deputy Headteacher & Deputy DSL - Ms Campbell

The school will ensure that all staff have updated knowledge about safeguarding so that we can:

  • Establish and maintain an environment where children feel secure, able to talk, and are listened to
  • Ensure students know there are adults in the school whom they can approach if they are worried
  • Include opportunities in the main curriculum as well as through PSHE, Tutor Time, Assembly or LEAP Day activities so that all pupils develop the skills to recognise and stay safe from abuse.

We follow the procedures set out by the Bromley Safeguarding Children Board and the London Safeguarding Children Board and take account of guidance issued by the Department for Education.

If you are worried about the safety or welfare of a student, please contact the Safeguarding Team on dsl@coopersschool.com.
