Safeguarding & Child Protection Information
At Exmouth Community College we take our duty of care to safeguard everyone very seriously. Our CORE safeguarding pillars of Everyone’s Responsibility, Compassionate Curiosity and It could Happen here, lay the strong foundations in ensuring that every individual has the right to feel safe, to learn, be respected and valued and be treated fairly and equally.
We recognise our moral and statutory responsibilities to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children and young people. We endeavour to create a safe, connected and successful environment where everyone plays their part in keeping themselves and others safe in school, outside of school and online.
All staff have received the appropriate training to be alerted to the signs of abuse and neglect and to follow the procedures to act and report with the goal of ensuring that students receive timely, appropriate and effective support. We work closely with a large number of external agencies to support students and their families, including Early Help, Operation Encompass, the Police, Prevent, CAHMs and Children’s Social Care.
If you have any concerns about your child or a child within the College, please do contact us.
Alternatively, if it is at a weekend or during school holidays, you can contact Devon Children's Front Door (MASH). Please click on the link below for information on how to make a request for support or report a child safety concern.
