St John Rigby College recognises that everyone has a duty ensure the safety and welfare of all staff and students.
Through our safeguarding polices and procedures we aim to:

• Promote a positive safeguarding culture which ensures that we cultivate a safe and secure environment for all
• We are committed to developing and educating both staff and student around safeguarding concerns so that they are aware of what they need to do if they concerns arise and that everyone takes the approach, “that it could happen here”.
• Our mission and ethos is built upon inclusivity and mutual respect, whilst also ensuring that we are meeting the College’s legal and safeguarding responsibilities.

The Governing Body is also regularly involved in safeguarding updates and training as required.
