The school will ensure that all staff have updated knowledge about safeguarding so that we can:

• establish and maintain an environment where children feel secure, able to talk, and are listened to
• ensure students know there are adults in the school whom they can approach if they are worried
• include opportunities in the main curriculum as well as in PSHE / SMSC, Tutor Time, Assemblies or themed days/weeks so that all pupils develop the skills to recognise and stay safe from abuse.

We follow the procedures set out by the Bromley Safeguarding Children Board and the London Safeguarding Children Board and take account of guidance issued by the Department for Education:

Emotional Health and Wellbeing

At LPSB we understand that there may be times when students need some support in managing new and often difficult situations. If your son or daughter is experiencing a specific medical condition please contact the school office or their Head of Year in the first instance. This will ensure an appropriate care plan can be created in line with their needs. Emotional health and wellbeing is taken seriously at LPSB.
