Safeguarding - Keeping our Children Healthy and Safe

Ensuring that our children learn within a safe environment is a priority for everyone within our school.

We take all aspects of safety and well-being seriously and our Anti-bullying, Safeguarding  and Behaviour policies outline our approaches.

Teaching Protective Behaviours

As part of our safeguarding provision for all children we teach Protective Behaviours as an approach to personal safety and wellbeing. Protective Behaviours help children to recognise and trust their intuitive feelings (Early Warning Signs) and to develop a range of strategies for self-protection.

The programme focuses on two key themes:

• - We all have the right to feel safe all of the time; and

• - We can talk with someone about anything, even if it feels awful or small.

All children take part in whole class sessions which are specifically tailored to meet the needs of all year groups, from Foundation Stage to Year 6.  We revisit the themes throughout the year. in assemblies, through discussions and during whole class teaching. If you have any questions, please speak to your child's class teacher who will be happy to tell you more about the programme. The children will bring home work that they have completed on Protective Behaviours so that these can be discussed and consolidated at home. 

 

 Safeguarding officers in school are Mrs Rose, Mrs Guest and Miss Smith.
