What is Safeguarding?

Safeguarding is about keeping children safe. This means protecting them from harm and promoting their welfare.

Safeguarding includes; protection from abuse, preventing harm to health or development, ensuring children receive safe and effective care, and taking action to enable all children and young people to have the best outcomes.

Meet the Team

Our Academy Vision is “Living Well Together with Dignity, Faith and Hope”. We aspire to take dignified decisions and afford dignity to all members of our community, regardless of background or circumstance.  Our position as a Voluntary Aided Church Academy means that the Christian faith has a central role in all of our actions and decisions.  We strive for excellence in all that we do, enabling our students to transform their lives and to hope for happy and successful futures.

At All Saints Academy, our vision is that we “Live Well Together with Dignity, Faith and Hope”. Our goal is to maximize the educational opportunities of all students within our community, in a stimulating and caring environment.  We are determined to meet the educational needs of all our students. Our Academy aims to treat all its pupils fairly and with respect. This involves providing access and opportunities for all pupils without discrimination of any kind. We focus on the well-being and progress of every child and where all members of our community are of equal worth.

We encourage our students to speak with their form tutors or Heads of Year in the first instance for support and guidance; but should they feel that they need something more urgent; students can access support from the students services support team, via our dedicated email, studentservices@asadunstable.org or alternatively go online to www.kooth.com and even text the NHS support line for teens on 07507331450
