This experience sparked many interesting conversations throughout the day, particularly about the abstract ideas behind some of the works. I am excited to see how this exposure will influence the students' personal investigations and the creative work they produce.

Our approach to safeguarding

We foster an atmosphere of trust, respect and security by providing a caring, safe, inclusive and stimulating environment which promotes the social, moral, spiritual, cultural and physical development of all students.

We actively promote a climate in which children and adults are confident about sharing concerns about the wellbeing or safety of themselves or others. At Harris Rainham Sixth Form, we treat all matters of safeguarding and wellbeing in a sensitive, respectful and professional manner.

Staff at Harris Rainham Sixth form are trained in response and reporting procedures frequently and are aware of the processes for making referrals to the HRSF Safeguarding Team, Children’s Social Care and the Police.

On this page you'll find information about Child Protection and Safeguarding including topics such as e-safety, preventing harmful sexualised behaviour, PREVENT, female genital mutilation, and Child Sexual Exploitation.

Safeguarding aims

The aims of our Safeguarding policy are Prevention, Protection and Support in line with Child Protection guidelines. The Sixth Form safeguarding procedures ensures that we:

  • Support our students' development in ways that foster security, confidence and independence
  • Raise the awareness and importance of recognising and reporting safeguarding, and of moral and professional responsibilities amongst all stakeholders including support and teaching staff, governors, students, visitors and parents
  • Provide high-quality training and awareness campaigns for staff, and ensure that the SLT/DSL/DDSLs undertake appropriate training (including biannual Level 3 training and safer recruitment training)
  • Provide a systematic means of monitoring all students, particularly those who are vulnerable or known to be ‘at risk’ of harm
  • Emphasise the need for excellent communication between staff, students, parents and external agencies (including the Police, PREVENT duty teams, social services, youth offending teams and other key agencies and workers involved in supporting our students and families)
  • Develop, implement and review structured procedures within the Sixth Form so that they are effective and can be understood and consistently followed by all members of the Sixth Form community
  • Maintain vigilance and an ‘it could happen here’ attitude, and build a holistic picture of each child’s needs by paying attention to each factor or piece of information.
