Inspiring Futures through Learning (IFtL), a multi-academy trust dedicated to educational excellence, is reaffirming its commitment to safeguarding during Family Safety Week (April 1st – 7th). IFtL places the safety and well-being of all its pupils, colleagues, and families at the heart of everything it does, ensuring that safeguarding is not just a policy but a daily priority across all its schools alongside education. 

Safeguarding is a continuous and unwavering responsibility, and IFtL’s collaboration with Bletchley Pathfinder, a multi-agency initiative focused on improving the integration of health and care services in the local community, strengthens this mission. While Family Safety Week serves as a key moment to highlight these efforts, the work between IFtL and Bletchley Pathfinder is ongoing, providing crucial support to families every day of the year. 

Victoria Blackmore, Head of safeguarding, health, children & families, emphasised IFtL’s  serious commitment to safeguarding:
“At IFtL, safeguarding is not just a responsibility—it is our absolute priority. We are dedicated to ensuring that every child, every colleague, and every family in our community feels safe, valued, and supported. Family Safety Week serves as an important reminder of the work we do daily to uphold the highest standards of care and protection.” 

Vicky Gidman, Deputy designated safeguarding lead, added:
“Through our ongoing work with Bletchley Pathfinder, we are strengthening the connections between education, health, and community services to create a truly holistic support network for our families. Safeguarding is a shared commitment, and by working together, we ensure that every child receives the protection and guidance they need to thrive.” 

A representative from Bletchley Pathfinder stated:
“The collaboration between Bletchley Pathfinder and IFtL ensures that families in our community have access to integrated support services. Family Safety Week shines a light on these efforts, but our joint mission to safeguard and empower children and young people happens every single day.”
