Safeguarding

The Learning Institute (Southwest) and ARENA are committed to Safeguarding and
promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expects all staff, volunteers and
visitors to share this commitment.
​
We aim to provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment which strives to make
sure that every student feels secure, well cared for, and able to reach their full potential.
​
TLI (Southwest) and ARENA understand and are committed to the vital contribution that all
Governors, staff, families and students can make to safeguarding children and vulnerable
adults. Every member of staff has a collective recognition of the importance of providing an
environment that helps children and vulnerable adults feel safe and respected, and a culture
that encourages people to talk openly, and have the confidence they will be listened to.
Safeguarding is the proactive stance, which aims to protect children and vulnerable adults
from abuse or harm, and Child/ Vulnerable Adults Protection is the reactive stance taken to
support students whom TLI (Southwest) or ARENA suspects may be in need of protection.
 
We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding
commitment, including our Safeguarding Policy.
