Safeguarding

As a school we are committed to safeguarding children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

How do we safeguard children in our daily activities?

In the event that any child discloses something that concerns you or you overhear something that’s makes you suspicious of a child being at risk you must act.

What should you do?

• Listen carefully – do not interrupt
• Clarify the facts – do not interrogate
• Reassure the child
• Avoid leading questions
• Do not promise confidentiality
• Record accurately using the child’s own words

All information MUST to passed on to the child protection officers:
