Safeguarding

What do our children say makes our school safe?
 
"We know who our trusted adults are"
 
A trusted adult is someone you can talk to if you are worried"
 
"Our school is safe because we have a fence to stop strangers getting in"
 
"Adults wear badges so we know who they are"
 
" we are safe because we can't get out of the school without an adult"
 
"Our classrooms and teachers keep us safe"

Culture of Safeguarding

 

At St Cuthbert's First School we strongly recognise the need for vigilant awareness of safeguarding issues. It is important that all staff have appropriate training and induction so that they understand their roles and responsibilities and are confident about carrying them out.

 

Staff, pupils, parents and governors should feel confident that they could raise any issues or concerns about the safety or welfare of children and know that they will be listened to and taken seriously. This will be achieved by maintaining an ethos of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and protecting staff. This is supported by clear behaviour, anti-bullying and child protection policies, careful risk assessment, appropriate induction and training, briefing and discussion of relevant issues and relevant learning through our RSE (Relationships and Sex Education) and Personal, Social, Health and Emotional (PHSE) curriculum.

 

At least annually all staff; Governors & volunteers are asked to read the most recent 'Keeping children safe in Education'   along with other key documents and sign the school held central record to confirm they have read and understood them. 

 

There are links to helpful sources of information in the 'Parents' tab under 'Internet Safety'.
