Safeguarding

Our Safeguarding Commitment

At Elevate-Ed, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do.
We are fully committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every learner feels valued, protected, and supported.

We follow the most up-to-date national and local safeguarding guidance, including Keeping Children Safe in Education (2024) and the Norfolk Safeguarding Children Partnership procedures.

Our Promise to Learners and Families

We are dedicated to:

  • Protecting children from maltreatment, abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

  • Promoting wellbeing and supporting emotional, social, and academic development.

  • Taking swift action to identify, report, and manage safeguarding concerns at the earliest opportunity.

  • Working openly with families, commissioners, and multi-agency partners to keep every child safe.
