SAFEGUARDING

At Silverdale School, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment where all children feel valued, secure, and able to thrive.

Our staff are trained to recognise and respond to any concerns to ensure the wellbeing of every child in our care.

You can find out more about safeguarding and child protection below or by contacting school and asking to speak to the Designated Safeguarding Leads.
