Policy Making Process
The Local Authority (LA - Cambridgeshire County Council) and The Government are responsible for updating and issuing some of the policies which are adopted by The Trust.
Our school policies are drawn up by the Senior Management Teams at our schools and will go through a staff and Trustee consultation process. Advice is also sought from our Human Resources company - EPM, and Unions where applicable.
When the consultation process is complete and agreements received, the policies will be ratified by the Board of Trustees before being issued and implemented.
Child Welfare & Children missing from education

- If you have concerns for a child’s welfare, please call the Cambridgeshire County Council Contact Centre on 0345 045 5203.
