Working to safeguard children
To ensure that all students are safe, we work in conjunction with partnership agencies, staff, parents, visitors, and members of the community to support our safeguarding procedures. We take our responsibilities for safeguarding children in our care seriously. Many students have expressed their appreciation of the amount of support that the school has given them.
We work closely with our Safer Schools Team (Metropolitan Police) and they act as a first point of contact between the school and the police.
EBA recognises the difficulties that young people and their families face in today’s society on a day-to-day basis. We are committed to offering equal opportunities and support to all our students.
The academy runs activities and workshops to raise awareness during the academic year to support students’ understanding and management of potentially unsafe or concerning situations including bullying, online safety and other specific safeguarding issues that may arise.
Support and mentoring schemes are made available to students to equip them with the required tools to make the right decisions and develop independence whilst keeping themselves safe by knowing how to access help when they need it.
