What is Safeguarding?

CANTO Learning is passionate about making a difference to the lives of our students. We believe in delivering a high level of education to students unable to access mainstream settings or that have additional needs. We are determined to provide a safe and supportive environment which gives our students the opportunity to access meaningful, enriching learning and social tasks to support them all to develop resilience in regards to their mental health. To further their understanding of personal wellbeing and to develop an understanding of how to stay safe both online and in their local community.
Our Safeguarding team
‘Leaders develop clear policies and procedures to safeguard their students. The designated safeguarding leads are appropriately trained. Staff complete suitable annual safeguarding training and receive frequent and relevant updates.
Staff are clear about what to do if they have any safeguarding concerns. Leaders keep detailed notes of any incidents and actions. Staff know their students’ needs and behaviours well. They ensure that students receive timely support when they need it. Leaders carefully consider what their students are most at risk from and frequently revisit these topics.’
