Our safeguarding commitment
We, at EMAT, believe that schools play a crucial role in teaching pupils about sex and relationships, equality and diversity and modern citizenship as well as preparing them for them for the modern world. This is enacted through each school’s culture, its curriculum, and all policies. We aim to give all pupils and staff a voice enable them to act in a protective manner towards themselves and others. This includes developing a roust whistle blowing culture as well as developing a culture of integrity and mutual respect.
We recognise that we have the responsibility of tackling sexual violence and harassment, instilling values in our stakeholders and encourage all to be driven by their strong moral compass. Like so much of education, our work must complement that undertaken by parents and carers so that young people receive a consistent message and people can go about their lives free from harassment and abuse.
All of our school will continue to engage with their stakeholders, listen to their concerns and signpost necessary support provision within and beyond its schools. We ask that anyone who has experienced such behaviour, or who is suffering because of it, to report it to an appropriate adults either in the school or within the EMAT team so they can be supported, and steps can be taken to address the issue.
