Safeguarding Children is Everybody’s Responsibility…
At Corpus Christi, we recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all of our children.
We endeavour to promote a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued.
We are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and follow our procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice.
