Safeguarding at CORE Education Trust and JQA
Safeguarding is at the heart of CORE Education Trust and Jewellery Quarter Academy, reflecting our values of Collaboration, Opportunity, Respect, and Excellence.
We go beyond statutory safeguarding requirements and expect all staff to uphold this commitment. Our approach is supported by key policies, including our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy (see below) and other documents available on our Statutory Information page.
Safeguarding Policy 2024-25 – JQA
CORE Education Trust is committed to protecting every student from abuse, neglect, and bullying. We believe student welfare is paramount and that all young people have the right to safety and protection, regardless of background or identity. All concerns are taken seriously and addressed swiftly in line with our policy.
Staff receive regular safeguarding training, and all employment processes follow DfE Safer Recruitment guidelines.
