Safeguarding

At Marshland High School we work hard to ensure that there is a safe environment in which students feel secure, are able to talk, and that they feel listened to.  All staff and governors at Marshland High School are trained in Safeguarding using the Norfolk County Council training programme.  Our safeguarding policy can be found on the  website under policies, along with other policies relating to the care and safety of students, staff and visitors.  

What is Safeguarding?

Safeguarding covers all aspects of keeping children safe and we promote the welfare of children by:

  • protecting children from maltreatment;
  • preventing impairment of children’s mental and physical health or development;
  • ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; 
  • taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.

As a school there are set government guidelines which we have to adhere to regarding the safeguarding of our children. Some of these are listed below:

We also expect all staff and visitors to treat each other with respect and to behave professionally.

All staff are required to wear their staff lanyards at all times. All Visitors and Volunteers are always required to sign in and out and wear a visitor badge whilst on school grounds.
