Safeguarding

Safeguarding is a central part of our school curriculum. We teach our children how to stay safe in the first world and online. We use a range of resources and approaches to deliver the safeguarding curriculum including:

Regular sessions and workshops on how to stay safe, understanding emotions and reactions, how to support others and how to stay safe and access help. We use the Childline website regularly and all pupils are aware of how to use this contact if the need ever arrises. Wellbeing and mental health is a priority in our school and pupils are provided with resources and workshops to support this.

Our children are taught how to respond to incidents of unkindness and what to do when they see inappropriate behaviour. They are taught how to use the internet responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively to keep themselves and others safe. There is a link below so that inappropriate or irresponsible material can be reported to CEOP.

Our school Designated Safeguarding Lead is Emily Bettoni, and our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads are Ruth Vince and Sharon George.

CPOMS

CPOMS is an innovative safeguarding and wellbeing solution for schools that revolutionises the critical job of ensuring the wellbeing of pupils and staff.

CPOMS StudentSafe software helps to bring all the bits of student information together in a secure, centralised place to see a chronology emerge early on a child in need of help.

The software drastically simplifies safeguarding tasks, including secure data sharing, student transfers, governance reporting and other administrative duties. Schools can quickly gain efficiencies whilst focusing on the wellbeing of pupils.

The software is tailored to meet our schools needs and all staff are trained annually on how to access the software and how to report correctly.
