At Stepping Stones Alternative Provision, our policies are carefully designed to ensure the maximum safety and well-being of both our young people and the dedicated staff who work with them. We recognise the importance of creating a safe environment where everyone feels protected and supported, and our policies reflect this commitment. From clear guidelines on behaviour to regular risk assessments, we take proactive steps to minimise risks and address any potential concerns before they arise. Our safeguarding procedures are in place to ensure that any signs of vulnerability or harm are identified and addressed swiftly and all staff members are rigorously trained to handle such situations. We also promote a culture of respect and inclusivity, with a strict zero-tolerance approach to bullying, harassment, or discrimination. These policies are designed to foster an atmosphere where young people can flourish, staff can perform their roles effectively and the whole community works together to maintain a safe and supportive space. At Stepping Stones, the safety of our young people and staff is paramount and we are committed to continuously reviewing and improving our policies to uphold the highest standards of care and protection.
