The Well Being Team

Our Well Being Team Mission statement

 

At Broadfield every member of staff is committed to keeping children safe. We strive to provide support to all families who need us and we use our positive partnerships to the benefit of all families and Broadfield children.

We aim to ensure children in our school feel happy and safe at all times and that they know every adult in their school is prepared to support them emotionally, socially and mentally so reaching for the stars and being in school is a positive time in their life. We work tirelessly to provide children with a range of opportunities that support them academically, but also plan activities that provide them with experiences that they may not get in their home life.

We are sensitive to the community that we serve and we approach every safeguarding issue or concern using all the knowledge we have of our families in order to direct appropriate support and engage the most relevant agencies. We work together as a team to ensure the well-being of all children and it is this team work that keeps our children safe.

Meet the team!
