Safeguarding Keeping children healthy and safe from harm

Our pupils are continually taught and encouraged to live healthy lifestyles and adopt safe practices. Our safeguarding policies and practices help to ensure that they are safe, happy and healthy - whether in the real or virtual worlds. School policies are in place to ensure that there is a consistent approach to practices throughout the school and that they are followed by staff, governors and volunteers.

Child Protection

The staff of All Saints recognise we have a full and active part to play in protecting our pupils from harm, that the child's welfare is our paramount concern and that all staff receive regular training to ensure our familiarity with child protection issues. All Saints, along with other services for children and families, works hard to support the best needs of our pupils. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.

There are Designated Safeguarding Leaders for child protection in school are as follows:

• The Headteacher, Mr Rhodes, is the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).
• Mr Mckrell is a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL).
• Mrs Fahy is a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL).

There is also a named Governor for Child Protection: Mrs Fielding.

The Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy can be viewed online (below) and in school. The policy is reviewed at least annually in line with any changes that may have occurred within the safeguarding environment. We also have a Whistleblowing Policy for dealing with allegations against staff. 

Those with a safeguarding concern about a child attending the school can use the contact form at the bottom of this webpage to raise an issue.

In school, we use the system MyConcern to log and track issues around our pupils.

A key document which governs safeguarding in schools is Keeping Children Safe in Education, the latest version of which is below, along with our Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy and Risk Assessment:

Please note that this version of the policy is a working draft: it incorporates the latest KCSIE changes (effective September 2021) and goes to Governors for ratification at the next full Governing Board meeting on Monday 20th September 2021. While the final version, with any amendments will be available here one ratified, it is this version that we will be working to from 1st September 2021.

Peer-on-Peer Abuse - Sexual Behaviour
The concept of Peer-on-Peer Abuse is included in our safeguarding policy. The Brook Sexual Behaviours Traffic Light Tool helps understand what behaviours, given different developmental ages of children, represent safe and healthy sexual development through to those which are outside safe and healthy behaviour.

The Prevent Duty

As children can be vulnerable to negative, extremist views, we work closely with the relevant authorities to build children's resilience against radicalisation. The following websites give practical help to parents as well as educationalists:
