John Lyon aims to create an atmosphere in which pupils feel secure and valued.

We are concerned about the welfare and safety of all our pupils and work to provide an environment in which pupils feel safe and listened to.

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children includes protecting children from maltreatment and ensuring children are able to grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care and taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.

The Safeguarding Policy forms a key element of our work in achieving this.

Whisper

John Lyon uses an online reporting tool called Whisper as a line of anonymous communication within the school community. Whisper provides everyone in the school community (students and parents) a safe place to talk, report or highlight issues and concerns. Whisper allows you to report any issues or concerns you may be having, anonymously, through SMS messaging or via email. The school will respond as soon as we can.
