Safety, Care & Safeguarding

Safety deserves clear questions and clear answers.

A website should not replace a current operational conversation. This page explains the safeguarding principles parents can expect to discuss and the details the NAS office will confirm during a visit.

Safety & Safeguarding — practical information for NAS families.

01

Everyday safeguarding

Children need adults who remain attentive, use respectful language, protect personal boundaries and respond to distress. Families should know who is responsible and how concerns are recorded and escalated.

  • Active adult supervision in the spaces children use.
  • Age-appropriate personal-care boundaries.
  • Respectful behaviour guidance without humiliation.
  • A named route for a parent to raise a concern promptly.

02

Arrival and collection

The handover between family and school is a critical safety moment. Ask the office to explain the current process for arrival, authorised collection, late changes and unfamiliar pickup adults.

  • Who may collect the child.
  • How a same-day change is verified.
  • How attendance and handover are recorded.
  • What happens when a parent is delayed.

03

Health, privacy and emergencies

Families should share relevant health information and receive a current explanation of the school response. Child images and personal information should be handled carefully.

  • How allergies, medicines and illness are communicated.
  • How families are contacted in an urgent situation.
  • How photo permission and child information are managed.
  • Which current emergency procedures apply at the campus.

Parent FAQ

Clear answers, with no guesswork.

For a current operational detail, the school office remains the source of truth.

Ask the NAS office during your visit. Operational procedures can change, so the school should confirm the current arrival, pickup, health and emergency arrangements directly.

Share relevant allergies, medical needs, communication needs, authorised pickup adults and anything that may affect settling or safety.

Contact the school office promptly, describe the specific event and ask who is responsible for reviewing and responding to the concern.
