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: the Headteacher, Mr Rhodes, is the Designated Safeguarding Lead. The Head of Lower School Mrs Fahy (who is also SENDCo & Inclusion Leader) and the Head of Upper School, Mr Mckrell (who is also Assistant Head & Pastoral Leader) are both Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads.

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. Alternatively, safeguarding referrals can be made via The Single Point of Access (SPA) and Early Help Hub (EHH): they deal with all safeguarding and wellbeing concerns regarding children and young people in The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM). They can be contacted by phone on 01628 683150 or 01344 786543 (Out of hours- Emergency Duty Team) or by email via MASH@achievingforchildren.org.uk.

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 here:

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:
