St Joseph's Catholic Primary

Safeguarding Your Child – our number 1 priority at St Joseph’s Primary School

All the staff at St Joseph’s Primary School are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our children.

Our Child Protection and Safeguarding policies are reviewed on an annual basis with safeguarding training provided for all staff each September in order to offer a consistent and high quality approach to the wellbeing of the children.

We encourage our children and their parents to express their views, feelings and concerns in an open and honest manner.  Time is given to any parent/guardian who wishes to share a concern or seek advice.

Sometimes it may be necessary to share information and work in partnership with other professional agencies when there are concerns regarding a child’s welfare.  We will always ensure that any concerns we have will be discussed with the child’s parent/guardian first unless we have reason to believe the child’s safety may be compromised.

Key contacts for Safeguarding are as follows:-

Mr Saunders – Designated Senior Lead

Mrs Riches – Deputy Designated Senior Lead

Mrs Tyerman - Deputy Designated Senior Lead

Mrs Denton - Deputy Designated Senior Lead

Mrs Bancroft - Deputy Designated Senior Lead

Mrs Ford - Deputy Designated Senior Lead

If you are concerned about a child’s welfare please record you concern and any observations and report the matter to a member of the Safeguarding team as above, at your earliest opportunity.
