CHILD PROTECTION POLICY
MARCH 2012
1. Introduction The governors and staff fully recognise the contribution the school makes, in partnership with other local agencies, to safeguarding children. We recognise that all staff, including volunteers, have a full and active part to play in protecting our pupils from harm and that everyone in the education service has an objective to keep children and young people safe. All staff and governors believe that our school should provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment which promotes the social, physical and moral development of the individual child. Through its emphasis on prevention and early intervention, this policy aims to minimise the risks of children being abused.
There are two aspects to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children: Arrangements to take all reasonable measures to ensure that risks of harm to children’s welfare are minimised. Arrangements to take all appropriate actions to address concerns about the welfare of a child, or children, working to agreed local policies and procedures in full partnership with other local agencies.
Our policy and procedures provide for both these aspects of safeguarding. The aims of this policy are to: Provide a safe environment for children and young people to learn. Support the child’s development in ways that will foster security, confidence and independence. Raise the awareness of both teaching and support staff of the need to safeguard
