Safeguarding
St. Michael's is committed to building a ‘culture of safety’ in which the children in our care are protected from abuse, harm and radicalisation. As such, there will be a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and a qualified first aider available at all times while a club is in session, both before and after school.
