This safeguarding statement explains The Huddle Approach’s commitment to safe, responsible and professional work with schools, pupils and education professionals. Safeguarding is central to any service that supports children, young people, staff teams and school communities.
The Huddle Approach provides movement-led inclusion support, training, consultancy, digital resources and licence-based materials for schools.
Our work is designed to support positive relationships, regulation, confidence, inclusion and better outcomes for pupils.
The Huddle Approach is committed to promoting the safety, welfare and wellbeing of children and young people.
We believe every pupil should be supported in an environment where they feel safe, respected and able to participate.
Our safeguarding statement reflects our commitment to:
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
The Huddle Approach works with schools, trusts, SENDCos, senior leaders, teachers and support staff.
When working with a school, we expect the school to remain responsible for:
The Huddle Approach supports school practice. It does not replace the school’s own safeguarding systems.
Our approach may include movement-based activities, regulation strategies, practical school support, staff training and resource guidance.
Movement-led inclusion should always be delivered safely, with appropriate supervision and suitable planning.
Schools should consider:
Activities should be adapted to the needs of pupils and the setting.
The Huddle Approach expects professional boundaries to be maintained at all times.
This includes:
Any work involving pupils should be agreed with the school and delivered in line with school expectations.
If a safeguarding concern is identified during training, consultancy, resource work or school support, The Huddle Approach will act appropriately.
This may include:
We will not ignore safeguarding concerns.
Safeguarding information should be shared carefully, proportionately and only with people who need to know.
Where schools share information with The Huddle Approach, they should avoid providing unnecessary identifiable pupil data unless it is required for the support being requested.
If safeguarding information is shared with us, it will be treated seriously and handled responsibly.
In some situations, safeguarding duties may require information to be shared even where consent has not been given.
The Huddle Approach may provide digital resources, downloadable materials or licence-based support for schools.
These resources are designed for education professionals.
They should be used alongside:
Digital resources should not be used as a substitute for direct safeguarding action where a child is at risk.
Our staff training and consultancy support is designed to improve confidence, consistency and inclusion.
Training may cover areas such as:
Where safeguarding themes arise, schools should apply their own safeguarding procedures and seek advice from their designated safeguarding lead.
The Huddle Approach expects anyone delivering services on its behalf to act professionally and safely.
This includes:
Schools should ensure any external visitor arrangements are managed through their normal safeguarding systems.
The Huddle Approach may support schools with strategies that help pupils feel regulated, included and ready to learn.
However, schools remain responsible for communication with parents, carers and families unless otherwise agreed.
Any concerns raised by parents or carers should be handled through the appropriate school process.
Safeguarding includes creating respectful, inclusive environments.
The Huddle Approach aims to support pupils in ways that recognise individual needs, strengths and barriers.
We believe support should be:
No pupil should be treated unfairly because of disability, SEND, race, religion, sex, background or any protected characteristic.
