** Safeguarding Officers **

Here at Ysgol y Llys we take the safeguarding of pupils and others seriously. We follow the national guidance and the Safeguarding policy is updated and reviewed regularly.

The Headteacher is the senior School Safeguarding Officer. In his absence any concern should be forwarded to either Mr Rhys Griffith, Mrs Sophia Rose, Mrs Ffion P Davies, Mrs Emma Robertshaw or Mrs Sian Jones.

Every member of staff has received safeguarding training on a yearly basis, with the senior safeguarding officers receiving further training to fulfil their role. Every member of staff understands which steps to take if a concern is raised or disclosed.

Looked after pupils

Through close co-operation with outside agencies and the Local Authority the additional care pupils receive is effective in school. Mr Rhys G Griffith, Headteacher and Mrs Emma Robertshaw are responsible to ensure the support they receive is effective to promote their achievement. Regular meetings are held to ensure support and help to the pupils and their carers

It is ensured that children who need additional educational help are given special attention by the class teacher and additional support depending on their needs e.g. different work in the task. In addition to this the Additional Learning Needs Assistant works under the leadership of the class teacher. The Assistant supports children who have Additional Learning Needs weekly either within the class or in pairs/small groups outside. Parents can see the Special Needs policy and discuss their children's teaching plans at any time. Please see the parent’s Special Educational Needs information sheet.
