Orion Eden Park is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and requires all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Enhanced DBS checks are carried out on all staff and visitors commit to following our safeguarding practices on entry to the building before being closely supervised whilst on site. 

We have a culture and climate of students speaking openly and honestly about concerns they have, how they are feeling and any worries they may have. We offer support for students through our pastoral support systems of tutors, heads of year and our wider safeguarding team so that every student has an adult they feel confident approaching whilst at school. 

All of our staff receive regular training on keeping students safe and we have a rigorous system whereby staff can also report concerns on the well-being and welfare of students. Opportunities are provided through the curriculum, pastoral and enrichment activities for all students to develop their knowledge of how to keep themselves and their friends safe from abuse and harm.
