Safeguarding
As a school we are committed to safeguarding children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
How do we safeguard children in our daily activities?
In the event that any child discloses something that concerns you or you overhear something that’s makes you suspicious of a child being at risk you must act.
What should you do?
- Listen carefully – do not interrupt
- Clarify the facts – do not interrogate
- Reassure the child
- Avoid leading questions
- Do not promise confidentiality
- Record accurately using the child’s own words
All information MUST to passed on to the child protection officers:
If you have concerns about the safety or wellbeing of a child you can do any of the following:
Call First Response on: 01296 383962 (out of hours 0800 9997677). They are able to offer you guidance and advice. If you think it is an emergency then call 999 immediately.

Tips for staying safe online: Make sure you keep new online friends strictly online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it. Know how to use the CEOP Button and how to report it to the CEOP Centre if you are concerned about someone’s online behaviour towards you.
