Closely linked
SEND and safeguarding are closely linked. Staff understand that pupils with SEND and SEMH needs may be more vulnerable and require additional support to feel safe and understood.
SEND provision is planned alongside safeguarding systems to ensure emotional safety, appropriate supervision, clear communication and consistent adult relationships.
Safe, seen and understood.
