Safeguarding is Everybody’s Business
"Langland Community School places a very high importance on keeping its pupils safe. Senior Leaders have developed quality safeguarding systems, policies and procedures and provide quality, regular, planned, and frequent training to all staff who are committed and knowledgeable. Relationships with pupils is highly valued and prioritised. The Junior Leadership Team is active and several of its initiatives have been acted upon by staff, some of which relate to safeguarding. Pupils also reported that there were a number of staff to whom they feel they could discuss any concerns." Richard Ward - safeguarding audit, January 2023
