Safeguarding

Every student at Newham PRUs deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported-no matter their needs, history, or current presentation. Safeguarding and inclusion are not the job of a few, it’s a whole-school responsibility. 

Every adult at Newham PRUs holds high expectations for safety and behaviour, speaks up confidently, and models the inclusive values we ask of our pupils.
