Safeguarding Every member of staff is given safeguarding training and understands the need to pass on any concerns regarding the well-being of each child. Mrs L Saxton is the Child Protection Officer and Mrs U Thrower is the Deputy Child Protection Officer. All staff have read the document 'Keeping Children Safe in Education (Sept 2020). |
Childline
The ChildLine Schools Service has recently visited all children in Years 5 & 6 to provide them with key messages about keeping safe. It can be beneficial for these messages to be reinforced at home. The NSPCC has developed some guides for all parents of primary school aged children to speak to your child about keeping safe. Have a look at www.nspcc.org.uk.
