Knox Academy has recently updated its Safeguarding Policy which can be viewed in the Policies and Procedures section of our website.

Safeguarding can be defined as "Protecting children from maltreatment; preventing impairment of children’s 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”.

The purpose of this policy is:

• To protect all children and young people who attend Knox academy;
• To provide staff and volunteers with the overarching principles that guide our approach to safeguarding and child protection.
