Safeguarding at the Pavilion

The Management Committee has overall responsibility for ensuring that there are sufficient measures in place to safeguard students at The Pavilion.

Safeguarding has been reviewed during Autumn term this year. Here is a summary of the current Safeguarding approach at The Pavilion

  • There is a well-publicised safeguarding team of 8 staff . This information is clear across all settings.
  • All staff receive whole staff safeguarding training each term; they are kept up-to-date with statutory duties and best practice. This is recorded on the SCR.
  • All staff have completed certificated online courses in PREVENT and FGM awareness training
  • There are designated Safeguarding staff and a Student Support Manager who works closely with outside agencies.
  • Students are regularly discussed across SLT and at daily briefings and de-briefings with all staff to ensure that there is effective information sharing and a high level provision and care.
  • Some vulnerable students have individual risk management plans
  • There are regular links and meetings with outside agencies such as YOTs, YPDAS, CAHMS and Social Care to discuss individual students and put in place educational and care packages.
  • Staff have morning micro -training sessions each week to update skills and awareness on topics such as CSE; FGM; prevent; safeguarding
  • Attendance monitoring tracks students on partial timetables and off-site alternative provision and this provision is agreed with parents/carers on an individual basis with parental sign-off.

Our Expectations

The Pavilion is committed to creating a teaching and learning environment where the learning, social, personal needs and emotional well-being of its learners are addressed, where they are helped to succeed in an atmosphere of safety and mutual respect and are given the skills to manage their own behaviour.

Within the consistent setting of the school, everyone is expected to behave in a reasonable way, take responsibility for their own behaviour and model appropriate behaviour.

Free Suicide Awareness Training – Supporting Our School Community

 
As part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding and wellbeing, we encourage all staff, parents/carers, and members of our wider school community to access free, high-quality suicide awareness training each year.
The Zero Suicide Alliance offers a short, accessible online course designed to help you recognise warning signs, feel more confident in having supportive conversations, and know how to respond if someone may be struggling.

Why This Matters

  • Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people.
  • Many individuals show signs that they are struggling—early recognition can save lives.
  • Having a conversation and knowing how to respond can make a significant difference.

We also recommend the following trusted organisations for additional information, training, and support:
If you or someone you know is in immediate need of support, please seek help from a trusted professional or contact emergency services.
Together, by increasing awareness and confidence, we can help support the wellbeing and safety of our community.
