Imberhorne School acknowledges its duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and is committed to ensuring safeguarding practice reflects statutory responsibilities, government guidance and complies with best practice and West Sussex County Council requirements.
Our safeguarding policy and procedures recognise that the welfare and interests of children are paramount in all circumstances and applies to all children regardless of age, gender, religion or beliefs, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or socio-economic background. These are underpinned by strong, mutually respectful relationships between staff and students as well as the work of pastoral teams who provide care, guidance and support to students on a daily basis.
If you need to contact us to discuss the welfare of a student please e-mail our Safeguarding Team via
