Safeguarding Support

Keeping children safe is everybody's responsibility. All staff have a duty of care to the children in our school but so do you . If anyone has any safeguarding concerns, they should be reported to Lincolnshire Children's Services on 01522 782111. Equally, yuo may speak to one of our Safeguarding Leads shown below.

In recognising our responsibilities for Safeguarding and Child Protection, as a school we:

have clear staff recruitment and selection procedures, ensuring that all staff (including volunteers) who have unsupervised access to children, have been appropriately checked for their suitability through the DBS procedure.
have an ongoing training plan for all members of staff and governors.
aim to raise awareness of child protection issues and equip children with the skills needed to keep them safe.
develop and implement procedures for identifying and reporting cases, or suspected cases of abuse.
refer our concerns to the Children’s Services at Lincolnshire Local Authority if abuse/neglect is suspected.
support children who have been abused in accordance with their Child Protection Plan.
establish a safe and nurturing environment free from discrimination or bullying, where children can learn and develop happily.

Safeguarding and the Curriculum

Within the curriculum, there are plenty of opportunities to teach children about remaining safe. This might be to do with online safety, stranger danger, the work of the NSPCC's PANTS campaign, RSE lessons in all year groups and other aspects such as Road Safety or Water Safety.
