Pebsham Primary Academy believes that all Staff and Volunteers should provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment that promotes the social, physical and moral development of every child.   We are fully committed to ensuring that consistent, effective safeguarding procedures are in place to support families, children and staff at our school.

All of our Governors and our Staff at Pebsham share the objective to help keep the children safe by contributing to:

• Providing a safe environment for them to learn;

• Identifying children who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm and taking appropriate action with the aim of making sure that they are kept safe both at home and in the education setting.

 To achieve this, we:

• Aim to prevent unsuitable people from working with the children;

• Promote safe practice and challenge any poor or unsafe practice ;

• Identify instances where there are grounds for concern about a child’s welfare and initiate or take appropriate action to keep them safe;

• Contribute to effective partnership working between all those involved in providing services for our children.

 We have a dedicated Safeguarding email address that alerts a DSL of your concerns:  fish@pebsham-tkat.org.
