What is a School of Sanctuary?
A school that is committed to being safe and a welcoming place for all. We help students, staff and our wider community understand what it means to be seeking sanctuary and to extend a welcome to everyone as equal valued members of the school community.
As part of our School of Sanctuary initiative, we aim to:
- Promote positive attitudes within schools and their communities around people seeking sanctuary.
- Support schools to take positive steps to be proud of being places of safety and inclusion for all.
- Recognise and celebrate schools that are committed to welcoming and supporting people seeking sanctuary.
