Speech and Language Therapist

Many of the children and young people who attend our specialist therapeutic schools have experienced significant adversity, trauma or complex life experiences. We understand that creating a culture of safety, trust and belonging is fundamental to helping them thrive academically, socially and emotionally. Our approach is rooted in kindness, compassion and a commitment to understanding the individual needs of every child. Working Together to Keep Children Safe Safeguarding is a shared responsibility. We work in close partnership with parents, carers, local authorities, health professionals and other agencies to ensure every child receives the care, support and protection they need. We believe that parents and carers are our most important partners. By working together, sharing information appropriately and maintaining open, honest communication, we can provide children with the consistency, security and support they need to flourish. Supporting Families The challenges facing children and young people continue to evolve. From online safety and social media to mental health, exploitation, bullying and emotional wellbeing, families are navigating an increasingly complex world. Our safeguarding resources are designed to provide practical advice, trusted guidance and up-to-date information to help parents and carers understand potential risks and support their children safely. We are committed to working alongside families, offering advice and signposting additional support whenever it is needed. If you have any concerns about the safety or wellbeing of a child, or would like further advice, we encourage you to speak to a member of our safeguarding team. No concern is too small, and we are always here to listen and help. Our Commitment At Renaissance Education, we are committed to:

• Creating a culture where every child feels safe, respected, listened to and valued.
• Promoting the physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing of every pupil.

• Working effectively with external agencies to safeguard children and promote positive outcomes.
• Teaching pupils how to recognise risks, build resilience and stay safe both online and offline.
• Encouraging children to speak out, knowing they will always be listened to and taken seriously.
