Our school will support all children by:

1. Promoting a caring, safe and positive environment within the school

2. Encouraging self-esteem and self-assertiveness

3. Effectively tackling bullying and harassment

4. Promoting all aspects of the Equality Act 2010

We have an expectation that all staff and visitors to our school will behave in a way which ensures our children are safeguarded at all times. This expectation involves a duty for any safeguarding concerns to be reported.

Everyone working with our children, their parents and carers should be aware

• Their role is to listen and note carefully any observations which could indicate abuse.

• They should not attempt to investigate once the initial concern is raised

• They should involve the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) immediately

• If the DSL is not available the Head or a Deputy DSL should be contacted.

• Disclosures of abuse or harm from children may be made at any time.

• If there are any concerns about a member of staff, this must be shared with the Head Teacher and not the DSL.

   

If anything worries you or concerns you, away.
