We take our safeguarding and child protection duties extremely seriously and they are a key part of our working.
Our students are often vulnerable and may need additional help and support during their time at Central Hub Brighton.
Safeguarding and child protection are the responsibility of all staff who receive annual training updates.
We are a member of Operation Encompass, a scheme that promotes information sharing between police and schools to secure better outcomes for children.
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead for CHB is Tim Self – TimSelf@chb.org.uk with individuals named for each site (see below).
Our lead safeguarding member of the management committee is Lydia Majic.
Please see our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy for more details.
