This website provides helpful information regarding safeguarding and additional support for you and your family living in Suffolk.
We want Suffolk to be a safe place for children and young people to grow up and adults to live in.
As a partnership their aim is to;
- Prevent abuse and neglect from happening
- Listen to people with lived experiences, learning lessons from them that help improve Suffolk systems
- Promote wellbeing and safety
- Hold our partners and other agencies to account for undertaking safeguarding duties and scrutinise safeguarding actions and outcomes
- Inform, teach, support, advise, and be part of the safeguarding network in Suffolk
Bramfield House School has Safeguarding and Child Protection procedures, policy documents and a training programme that incorporates Government and Policy Legislation.
Staff are given a copy of the Child Protection Procedures. Staff receive two yearly training from an outside consultant. Parents/carers, social workers, placing authorities and other significant people are offered a copy of the Child Protection policy (which is also available to download from our website).
Bramfield House provides policy guidance, which sets out clear guidelines and expectations in the school with regards to appropriate relationships between all staff and the children. At Bramfield House we provide a very caring and professional setting in which the children will be given full emotional support without it being detrimental to their safety and well-being. All staff are aware of their responsibilities for Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people.
Bramfield House has a duty of care and therefore a responsibility to pass on any child protection and safeguarding concerns to the relevant children’s social care services.
