Safeguarding Council
Pupil Council | What do we do and why?
Our Safeguarding Pupil Council has been created as a vehicle to capture pupil voice, explore ideas and transfer this feedback directly back into classrooms as a way of making pupil-informed changes.
The council also supports staff in their drive to continuously raise standards.
Our council will focus on aspects of the curriculum that fall under three main categories:
1. Things that are already in place in school, that are going well and also positively support learning.
2. Things that are in need of repair or re-think as they are not working as we would like or need.
3. Things that could be invented and created to help everyone learn more and learn better.
Council members will work with their link leader, observe aspects of school life and regularly report back to senior staff on how things are going in school - from their pupil perspective.
Pupils are also introduced to the Ofsted Framework and begin to sensitively unpick how this can be used to make impactful and relevant changes.
Pupils are valued as pupils and go beyond the framework to view learning through the eyes of themselves - as young learners. This is their unique input that makes the Pupil Council a positive group to be part of, as well as a group who can represent their peers and make meaningful pupil-informed changes in school.

Examples of our work as a Pupil Council
This is where we showcase examples of our work and its impact on the life and learning of pupils in school.
Next steps...
1. Set up Safeguarding Councils and link to another group from another LAT School to see what they are doing about keeping children safe.
2. Meet with LAT Safeguarding Lead, Mrs. Maria Anderson, to learn more about what a pupil council could do to help children and their families keep safe.
3. Make short videos explaining how Safe Booklets are used in school by pupils - what are they for - how do they help us Stay safe and why do we use them?
4. Set up a keep safe online meeting for parents and pupils linking with the local Police where relevant especially linked to the use of online apps and games as well as Microsoft TEAMS for learning.
