At Brookfield there is a high expectation of the pupils regardless of their gender, ethnicity, disability, religion beliefs, sexuality, age or any other recognised area of discrimination. We demonstrate this by treating every pupil equal regardless of their sexuality, gender, disability or ethnicity so that they fulfil their potential.

To ensure all young people and staff are safe from grooming, cyber bullying and identify theft. At Brookfield all social media are blocked so staff or children cannot gain access to them. Each pupil and member of staff have an unique username and password to access the computers.

Freedom of information applies to all public authorities, it allows authorities to share information. Schools have three stages of which they have to share.
Information should not be hidden, changed or destroyed this applies to all information held, regardless of its format, quality or age.

The school has a responsibility to provide a safe environment which children can learn. Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined as: protecting children from maltreatment; preventing impairment of children’s health or development; ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families has a role to play in safeguarding children. Staff are particularly important as they are in a position to identify concerns early and provide help for children, to prevent concerns from escalating.
The school has a designated safeguarding lead who provides support to staff members to carry out their safeguarding duties and
