The health and wellbeing of every child in our school is of paramount importance. We strive towards a positive whole-school environment, where we prioritise emotional and mental health as well as physical health and safety.
- There is an ethos of constructive, caring relationships across the school built on trust, kindness, safety and security.
- There is a sense of belonging and students are encouraged to talk to their teachers about worries and difficulties.
- Children have been taught good social and emotional skills by the Counsellor and Social Welfare worker and are able to identify feelings, thoughts and emotions.
- All staff are encouraged and supported to be alert, watchful and curious about children and young people’s behaviour, their body language, their interaction with other pupils, what they say, what they draw and what they do in school.
- There is a clear safeguarding policy in place so that staff know what to do if they believe a child is at risk.
At DIS, we make sure that anyone working or interacting with children understands safeguarding procedures and has the necessary training.
Available Medical Facilities:
