The school has a named Designated Safeguarding Lead and Board Safeguarding Lead, and requires all employees to report suspected abuse or neglect to designated personnel who liaise with the DSL and external Children's Services.

“All ASL employees are required, without exception, to report cases of suspected child abuse or neglect to one of the designated personnel within the School. The designated person will liaise with the school’s designated safeguarding lead and can consult directly with and make referrals to the appropriate Children’s Services in the relevant borough.”

Community members who feel unable to report a concern internally can speak anonymously to the NSPCC advice line.

“If any member of the school community feels unable to report a concern to a member of the safeguarding team, they can speak directly and anonymously to the [National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC)](https://www.nspcc.org.uk/) on their advice line at +44 (0)800 0280 285.”

The school frames its educational purpose around developing students within a caring, supportive framework free from fear of abuse or neglect.

Understanding that children learn and grow best within a caring and supportive framework, we undertake to create a school that models responsible personal and social behavior and keeps students free from the fear of any kind of abuse or neglect”
