SAFEGUARDING (CHILD PROTECTION) POLICY
DUKES AND DUCHESSES OF CAMBRIDGE
ACADEMY (DADOC) is committed to providing
a safe and secure environment for children, staff
and visitors and promoting a climate where
children and adults will feel confident about
sharing any concerns which they may have about
their own safety or the well-being of others.
We aim to safeguard and promote the welfare of
children by protecting them from maltreatment;
preventing impairment of children’s health or
development; ensuring that children grow up in
circumstances consistent with the provision of safe
and effective care; and taking action to enable all
children to have the best outcomes.
The policy is applicable to all on and off-site
activitiesundertaken by pupils whilst they are the
responsibility of the School.
We will ensure that all staff read and comply with
our child protection policy and that mechanisms
are in place to assist staff to understand and
discharge their role and responsibilities as set out
in the policy.
All children have the right to achieve their maximum
academic and social potential. The SEN policy at
DADOC seeks to promote this by providing equality
of access and opportunity to all areas of the
curriculum. Children are taught in an environment
where they receive equal respect and in which their
individuality is valued.
At the Academy we believe that all children have
learning differences rather than learning difficulties
and it is our policy to identify and assess these
differences and ensure that learning is supported and
differentiated to ensure good progress is made by
all children.
This e-Safety policy has been developed by a
working group / committee made up of:
· Federation Staff
· Principal / Senior Leaders
· E-Safety Officer / Coordinator
· Governors / Board
This policy applies to all members of the Academy
community (including staff, students/ pupils,
volunteers, parents / carers, visitors, community
users) who have access to and are users of
Academy ICT systems, both in and out of the
Academy.
Ethos and Rationale
Positive behaviour is the foundation of
outstanding teaching and learning. At DADOC,
we strive to create and maintain a positive
learning environment in order to deliver to
pupils the best possible education.
DADOC is committed to safeguarding and
promoting the wellbeing of all children, and
expects our staff and volunteers to share this
commitment.

environment for all pupils so that they can learn in

unacceptable in our Academy. If bullying does occur,
all pupils should feel able to tell and know that

Anyone who knows that bullying is happening is
expected to tell the staff.
