Safeguarding
Chilwell school is proud to offer a safe environment for our students. Safeguarding is at the heart of our work and OFSTED recognised in May 2018 that "a culture of safeguarding permeates the school."
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
