The Safeguarding Team at The Burgate School and Sixth Form is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and respectful environment for all students. Our experienced safeguarding professionals work closely with staff, students, parents, and external agencies where appropriate to promote student welfare and respond to any safeguarding concerns. While we are dedicated to supporting the wellbeing and safety of our school community, we are a school-based safeguarding team and are not a children's services department or an NHS service. Our role is to listen, support, and take appropriate action in line with statutory safeguarding guidance, ensuring every student receives the help they need.
