Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility: everyone at Taunton School has a role to play in looking after and promoting the rights of every child to be safe and fulfilled inside and outside of school.
Safeguarding information for parents & students

What is Safeguarding?
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined as:
- Protecting children from maltreatment
- Preventing impairment of children’s health and development
- Ensuring children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
- Taking action to enable all children have the best outcomes
Taunton School achieves this by placing safeguarding at the heart of everything we do. We generate a child-centred approach by ensuring that training and support exists for all students thereby promoting the right opportunities for learning and personal development.
