Children's Safeguarding Board - Safety Squad
WELCOME TO OUR CHILDREN'S SAFEGUARDING BOARD
At Cockshutt, our Child Centred Safeguarding Board is called Safety Squad! Our logo and slogan are a combination of designs and discussions with our team of children. The fantastic images were then created by Sally Harris.
The History of Safeguarding Boards

To give pupils a voice and have their lived experience heard and validated
