Safeguarding Overview

Safeguarding is everybody’s business. Lavendon School has a moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all pupils. We are committed to safeguarding and aim to create a culture of vigilance. We also ensure that pupils are taught about keeping safe (at a level appropriate to their age) throughout the curriculum but particularly through PSHE and Computing. We follow the IFtL Safeguarding curriculum that is fully embedded across the school.


Strengthening Safeguarding Across Our OLLA Schools

Our Safeguarding Leads work collaboratively across the Olney, Lavendon Learning Alliance (OLLA), providing expert guidance, delivering high-quality staff training, and supporting early intervention strategies. Through this partnership, we strengthen our collective capacity to promote the safety and well-being of every pupil in our community.
