We are committed to creating a safe, caring and vigilant environment in which every young person feels protected, respected and supported to thrive. We recognise that many of our pupils may have experienced disruption, trauma, loss of trust, emotional distress or barriers to learning, and we take seriously our responsibility to provide a school environment where safety, stability and wellbeing come first.

Safeguarding at AYA is not limited to policy or procedure. It is reflected in our culture, our relationships, our staff training, our therapeutic approach and the way we listen to and advocate for young people.
