Safeguarding

Safeguarding statement

The Safeguarding policy applies to all adults, including volunteers, working in or on behalf of the school.

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families and carers has a role to play in safeguarding children. In order to fulfil this responsibility effectively, all professionals should make sure their approach is child-centred. This means that they should consider, at all times, what is in the best interests of the child.

Safeguarding includes the establishment and implementation of procedures to protect children from deliberate harm, however, safeguarding also encompasses all aspects of pupils' health, safety and well-being.

St George’s Primary School is committed to ensuring the welfare and safety of all children in school and all our staff, governors and volunteers have Safeguarding training.

The Designated Safeguarding Lead is: Katie Barry (Headteacher) and the person who deputises in her absence is: Holly Ruddlesdin (Deputy Headteacher)

The Safeguarding Governor is: Wendy Carrick.
