We are a Safeguarding School
Cockermouth School is committed to maintaining a safe learning environment and protection for all students and recognise that a more personalised or contextualised approach may be required for more vulnerable children, victims of abuse and some SEND children. We have a culture of openness and honesty and aim to be reflective about our practice and recognise that, however good we are, we can always improve. We know that abuse happens in our school and wider community and always strive to create the environment where those affected can report concerns in the secure knowledge they will be supported in a professional and sensitive way.
Please find the school’s child protection policy on our policies page.
