Safeguarding

At Bexley Music, the safeguarding and wellbeing of every child, young person, and vulnerable adult is our highest priority. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment in which all individuals are protected, respected, and empowered to achieve their full potential.

We take our safeguarding responsibilities seriously and are dedicated to promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults at all times. All staff share a collective responsibility to recognise, respond to, and report any concerns relating to safeguarding or wellbeing. Where appropriate, we work in partnership with parents, carers, and relevant external agencies to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Our safeguarding policies and procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure compliance with current statutory requirements and recognised best practice. We are committed to fostering a culture in which everyone feels safe, valued, listened to, and confident to raise concerns without fear.

From September 2026, new statutory guidance on allergy awareness and anaphylaxis in schools came into effect. We have updated our Allergy and Anaphylaxis Policy to reflect this guidance and help keep our pupils safe.
