We also provide regular staff updates and workshops built around real life scenario planning as part of on-going CPD. Parents/carers, social workers, placing authorities and other significant people are offered a copy of the Child Protection policy. Underley Garden provides policy guidance, which sets out clear guidelines and expectations in the school with regards to appropriate relationships between all staff and the children. At Underley Garden we provide a very caring and professional setting in which the children will be given full emotional support without it being detrimental to their safety and well-being. All staff are aware of their responsibilities for Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people.
