• Making our children and adults feel safe in school by having clear steps to follow if anyone is worried or concerned. 
• Working alongside and seek advice from Westmorland & Furness Safeguarding Children Partnership.
• Encouraging all our children, parents and staff to be themselves, no matter what their race, religion, family background or state of health.
• Making sure we know why children are off school, and helping them to be in school if we can.
• Attending meetings about individual pupils and making sure that personal information is kept confidential.
• Being open and honest with children and parents when something is wrong and working together with them to make things better.
