Yattendon C.E. Primary School Safeguarding Statement

 

Yattendon C.E. Primary School is committed to protect and safeguard the welfare of all of the children in its care and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

"The welfare of the child is paramount." (Children's Act 1989)

 

The school has a statutory duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. It is pro-active in protecting children through ensuring robust and clear systems are in place should any concerns arise. Early identification of children who may be vulnerable or at risk of harm is key to our approach.

 

We are required to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare.

 

Our designated person for safeguarding is:

Mrs Rachel Manley (Headteacher)

 

Our deputy designated persons for safeguarding are:

Mrs Mel Mason

Jenny Coomber

 

Our Safeguarding Governor is:

Ms Nia Trussler

 

 

 

 

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. If you have a concern,  inform the Designated Safeguarding Lead IMMEDIATELY!

 

 

We have a dedicated page under the 'Parents' tab, containing links to websites that give guidance to keeping your children safe online.  A link to this page is provided below:
