Managing Risk

Our overriding aim is to ensure that we provide an environment for the children that is safe and a curriculum that is inventive, fun and challenging where children can have opportunities to experience risk safely. To ensure that we can do this we have in place:

• Policies and procedures that are extremely detailed, updated regularly and communicated to school adults.
• Good quality training for our school adults, starting with induction training, followed by regular CPD and annual refresher training
• Detailed relational support plans to support school adults with really detailed information about a child to help them know and understand the child.
• Detailed risk assessments for each child to ensure that all school adults are aware of children’s behaviour and the risk that they can be to others when dysregulated.
• Good quality risk assessments for every environment and activity which are reviewed regularly to ensure pertinence
• Rigorous and effective safeguarding procedures
• Checks on the suitability of our adults are extremely thorough and monitored very closely for changing legislation
• Good working in partnership relationships with other agencies
• Staff resilience so we can dogmatically chase external agencies to improve outcomes for children and their families
