Wellbeing & Safety
Mental wellbeing is supported through Health & Wellness provisions providing access to high-quality health care services. The Student Behaviour Policy reinforces mental wellbeing through a pastoral team and Counselling Programmes including Tarbeya, with a support-before-sanctions approach. Makarem lessons and the Instilling Values programme embed values across the curriculum and tutor time. School-based counsellors and a senior nurse are part of the safeguarding and wellbeing structures.
Safeguarding is led by a Designated Safeguarding Lead (the Principal) with Deputy Safeguarding Leads, a School Senior Nurse, School Counsellors, and a Head of SEN. The policy links to wider guidance including Keeping Children Safe in Education. A designated safeguarding office and robust safeguarding culture are confirmed across Ta'allum Group schools, with documented DSL and Child Safety Team roles, procedures for incident reporting, safeguarding training, and safer recruitment principles.
