# Safeguarding

### Safeguarding

Selwood Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. In line with Safer Recruitment, all our posts require an enhanced criminal background check via the disclosure procedure and are subject to pre-employment checks.

Please contact the school if you need to talk a member of our Safeguarding team:
