Student safeguarding is at the core of our Safeguarding Curriculum at Testwood School. Great importance is placed on identifying opportunities in the taught curriculum for students to learn about areas of safeguarding. Our broad curriculum gives students opportunities to experience life in all its diversity, to acquire knowledge, understanding and skills that significantly impact on personal development, behaviour and welfare and equips every student with the knowledge and skills required for personal safeguarding. Our PSHE curriculum covers all areas of Safeguarding through each of the strands to a different degree, however some go into more detail. We are sensitive in our teaching and recognise that some more sensitive subjects need to be taught at an age appropriate level, or at a small group or 1:1 level when a more urgent need arises. We plan to constantly challenge students to think deeply about safeguarding matters and their own personal, physical and mental well-being. In combination with our diverse assembly themes, we give them opportunities across the curriculum to explore values, personal rights, responsibilities and equal opportunities that develop moral concepts that impact positively on safeguarding, promote British values and prevent radicalisation and extremism. There are many opportunities throughout our learning in school to explore safeguarding issues.
