Safeguarding at KBD

At KBD, the safety, wellbeing and protection of every child and young person is our highest priority.

We are committed to providing a safe, supportive and inclusive environment where every student feels respected, valued and able to enjoy their experience.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. All KBD staff are expected to understand their responsibilities, maintain appropriate professional boundaries and act promptly if they have any concerns about a child’s welfare.
