Safeguarding
We all have a statutory duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. We take this duty very seriously.
If you have any concerns about the health & safety of a child at this educational setting or feel that something may be troubling them, you should share this information with staff straight away. Some issues e.g. a child's appearance, hygiene, general behaviour, can be shared with any teacher or member of support staff in this setting. Do not worry that you may be reporting small matters - we would rather you tell us things that turn out to be small than miss a worrying situation.
However, if you think the matter is very serious and may be a child protection concern, e.g. physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect, please speak to one of the people listed below immediately. If you are unable to contact them, you can ask the school office to find them and ask them to speak to you straight away about a confidential and urgent matter.
We place a high priority on educating our children about e-safety & focus on this regularly throughout the year. Please see our online safety policy for more information.
We will cover Sex & Relationships Education Programme as part of the curriculum, as parents & carers you may also find the NSPCC resources entitled PANTS very helpful. This allows families to talk quite easily about the necessary issues of safety without embarrassment or having to cover more ‘grown up’ issues. Please visit PANTS (for parents & PANTS for children) to find out more.
