Safeguarding policy

This Safeguarding Policy sets out a sensitive and comprehensive procedure to ensure legal, ethical, and emotional support following the death of a child. It provides clear guidance on immediate actions, reporting requirements, and cooperation with statutory agencies to meet all legal and regulatory obligations. The policy emphasises dignity, respect, and confidentiality while supporting affected children, families, and staff through appropriate pastoral and emotional care. Roles and responsibilities are clearly defined to ensure a coordinated and compassionate response. By following this policy, the organisation ensures safeguarding duties are upheld, risks are managed appropriately, and those impacted receive respectful, timely, and professional support during a highly sensitive time.
