Safeguarding

At this school, the health, safety and well - being of every child is our paramount concern. We listen to

our pupils and take seriously what they tell us. Our aim is that children will enjoy their time as pupils in

this school. We want to work in partnership with you to help your child to achieve their full potential

and make a positive contribution.

To promote a safe environment for pupils, our selection and recruitment policy includes all checks on

staff and regular volunteers’ suitability, including DBS checks, in accordance with current legislation.

In accordance with our responsibilities we have Designated Safeguarding Leaders (DSL) for

Child Protection (Mr Lee Glynn, Mrs Dawn Hankinson and Mrs Hayley Pye), who have all received

appropriate training for this role. It is their responsibility to ensure that all staff in contact with children

receive child protection awareness training on a regular basis. We also engage with operation encompass.

On occasions our concern about a child may mean that we have to consult other agencies. Unless it

is not safe for a child, we would always aim to achieve this with a parent's consent. The

procedures, which we follow, have been laid down by the Local Safeguarding Children’s Board, and

the school has adopted a Child Protection Policy in line with this for the safety of all. If you want to

know more about the procedures, please contact the Headteacher.
