Child Protection

This school is required to follow clear and definite guidelines from the Safeguarding Children Act. Teachers and ancillary staff have a duty to identify signs of abuse or neglect and to raise their concerns immediately.

How Does the School Safeguard Children?

Child Protection:

• Each member of staff, governors and regular visitors, e.g. music teacher, has an up-to-date DBS check.
• All other visitors are supervised 100%.
• There is one main entrance, other doors are shut from the outside.
• Every visitor, other than parents, signs in and wears a prominent badge.
• A suitable ratio exists for playtime and lunch-time supervision.
• A record is kept of concern about children.
• Children are referred to Social Services if there are any suspicions.
• All staff are aware of the policy and have successfully completed Child Protection training.
