Safeguarding

Associated Merseyside Partnership SCITT (AMP SCITT) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children within the partnership and expects all staff and trainees to share this commitment.

The staff of AMP SCITT recognise our responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all pupils in our partnership schools. Trainees are given comprehensive training to ensure that all provide a safe and welcoming environment where all students are respected and valued. Training ensures everyone is alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and follow all safeguarding procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice.

  • All children, regardless of age, gender, ability, culture, race, language, religion or sexual identity, have equal rights to protection.
  • All staff have an equal responsibility to act on any suspicion or disclosure that may suggest a child is at risk of harm.
  • Trainees and staff involved in child protection issues will receive appropriate support.
