Safeguarding
Child safety and protection is absolutely paramount in our school and all staff are trained regularly to ensure our systems and practices are fully robust.
At River Beach we work closely with parents, families as well as outside agencies to ensure that any concerns are addressed quickly and efficiently.
If you are concerned about the safety or welfare of any of our children, please speak to one of our Child Protection Officers immediately.
