Safeguarding in practice

We actively undertake our safeguarding commitment in a number of practical ways – these include: 

 

Our staff 

  • are DBS checked as part of the recruitment procedures in place 

  • are made aware of our safeguarding policies and procedures during their induction 

  • attend safeguarding training throughout each year, incorporating updates 

  • record incidents and actions on our electronic system, which are shared with safeguarding leads. 

  •  Safeguarding and attendance meetings help leaders identify any children/families who may require additional support 

Pupils 

  • actively engage with a PSHE and RSE curriculum that teaches them how to look after themselves and to keep safe 

  • know of safe adults, beyond the family, to confide in at times of distress or danger.  

  • are taught online safety as part of the computing curriculum 

  • attendance is monitored and unexplained absences are followed up the same day by phone calls 

  • have information around them to offer support through posters and displays 

Parents/Carers 

  • are encouraged to share any concerns with school and know how they can report these concerns. We utilise SeeSaw, to enable parents to communicate with staff at all times
