Churchside Federation Safeguarding Information

At Churchside Federation, comprising Mundford COE Academy and Gooderstone COE Academy safeguarding is a fundamental part of our shared responsibility to protect and promote the well-being of every child and adult within our school community.

We believe that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. All staff, governors, volunteers, parents, and carers work together to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where children can thrive, learn, and grow. We are committed to ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, feels safe, valued, and respected.

Our federation ensures a vigilant approach to safeguarding, promoting awareness, and fostering strong relationships built on trust and respect. We encourage open communication, and everyone is empowered to report concerns or seek advice when necessary. Through training, policies, and procedures, we continuously strive to provide the highest standards of protection for both children and adults, ensuring that everyone plays their part in safeguarding.

We believe that by working together, we can provide a safe and secure environment that nurtures the potential of every child and upholds the dignity and safety of all members of our school community.

Together, we keep children and adults safe.
