Safeguarding
Keeping children safe is the prime concern for schools and at Riverside we take our duty of care extremely seriously. New staff undergo a training schedule to insure they are equipped to safeguard our children from day one and we regularly update our own knowledge through training days and professional development meetings.
If you have any safeguarding concerns contact one of designated leaders below immediately.
