Child Protection Including Safeguarding

Please read our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy. If you have any Safeguarding concerns please inform Mrs Bennett-Gleig, Mrs Rannard or Mrs Padilla as a matter of urgency. Alternately you can contact Sefton Multi Agency Safeguarding helpline directly on 0151 934 339. Safeguarding is a community responsibility and as such we all have a responsibility to keep children safe.

Key DFE publications include

• Keeping children Safe in Education (September 2022)

• Disqualification by Association

• Prevent Strategy

• Working together to Safeguard Children

• Sexual harassment and violence in schools and colleges

All staff training for safeguarding is up to date and regularly updated in line with Government Guidelines. Records of staff training are held in the school office.

Home Office Prevent Training updates for all staff, including Non Teaching Staff and Governors takes place annually. This is updated as part of our annual Whole school safeguarding training.

We have 1 members of staff and 1 governor trained in Safer Recruitment.
