Safeguarding Statement

IMATTA JR is committed to promoting the safety, wellbeing, and protection of all children and young people.

Safeguarding sits at the centre of how our programme is designed, developed, and delivered. We recognise that schools have a primary safeguarding responsibility, and our approach is created to support — never replace — established school safeguarding procedures.

Our materials are structured to ensure emotional wellbeing learning takes place within safe, appropriate educational boundaries.

Our Approach

IMATTA JR is an educational wellbeing programme, not therapy or clinical intervention.

The programme is designed to:

  • Support emotional understanding through structured classroom learning

  • Maintain clear emotional and professional boundaries

  • Avoid practices that encourage personal disclosure in group settings

  • Ensure teachers remain fully in control of delivery at all times

Lessons focus on shared learning using stories, guided discussion, and age-appropriate examples rather than personal experiences.

Children are never required or encouraged to share private or sensitive information.

Teacher-Led Delivery

All IMATTA JR sessions are delivered by school staff already known to pupils, such as teachers or designated school professionals.

This ensures:

  • Delivery takes place within familiar and trusted environments

  • Existing safeguarding relationships remain in place

  • Schools maintain oversight and responsibility for pupil welfare

IMATTA JR does not involve direct interaction between children and external facilitators through the platform.


Safeguarding Boundaries

The programme has been intentionally developed to remain within educational safeguarding limits.

IMATTA JR:

  • Does not provide counselling or therapeutic services with in the lesson Progrmme.

  • Does not assess, diagnose, or treat mental health conditions within the lesson programme.

  • Does not request personal disclosures from children

  • Encourages general discussion rather than individual sharing

If safeguarding concerns arise during classroom discussions, schools are expected to follow their established safeguarding and reporting procedures.

Role of Schools

Schools remain responsible for:

  • Safeguarding oversight

  • Monitoring pupil wellbeing

  • Responding to disclosures or concerns

  • Following statutory safeguarding guidance and policies

IMATTA JR is designed to integrate into existing safeguarding frameworks already in place within schools.


Content Design and Review

Programme content is developed with consideration for:

  • Age appropriateness

  • Emotional safety

  • Inclusive language

  • Classroom suitability

  • Educational safeguarding standards

Materials aim to create predictable, calm learning experiences that reduce emotional risk while supporting understanding.


Online Safety

The IMATTA JR platform is intended for access by authorised school staff and parents only.

We take reasonable steps to maintain a secure online environment and protect user access through account controls and platform safeguards.

Children do not create independent accounts or interact directly with the platform.

Reporting Concerns

If a safeguarding concern arises during programme delivery, schools should follow their internal safeguarding procedures and contact their Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) in accordance with statutory guidance.

IMATTA JR does not replace school safeguarding systems.


Our Ongoing Commitment

We are committed to continuously reviewing our materials and processes to ensure they remain aligned with safeguarding expectations within educational settings.

Our aim is to support schools in promoting emotional wellbeing in a way that is structured, responsible, and safe for all children.
