# Safeguarding & Intervention

At Parklands High School, we feel that all of our staff work hard to contribute to making the school a safe place to learn, for our pupils to be cared for, and shaped in to well-rounded, responsible young people. We aim to protect pupils from harm, promoting the well-being and welfare of all who attend our school.

We feel that the school is committed in promoting the emotional, physical, mental and educational needs of every pupil and recognise our roles and responsibilities in protecting and keeping our pupils safe.

We are proud of our pupils and staff and believe that we promote a positive, nurturing, and stimulating environment through our lessons, and our vertical form and house systems, so that our pupils feel safe and happy.

Should you have concerns about the safety or well-being of someone at our school, please talk to one of our Designated Safeguarding Leads.
