Safeguarding and Child Protection

Child Protection Statement

‘Our school is committed to safeguarding children and promoting children’s welfare and expects all staff, governors, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment and maintain a vigilant and safe environment. Everyone has a responsibility to act, without delay, to protect children by reporting anything that might suggest a child is being abused or neglected. It is our willingness to work safely and challenge inappropriate behaviours that underpins this commitment. The school seeks to work in partnership with families and other agencies to improve the outcomes for children who are vulnerable or in need.’

‘Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families and carers has a role to play in safeguarding children. In order to fulfil this responsibility effectively, all professionals should make sure their approach is child-centred. This means that they should consider, at all times, what is in the best interests of the child.’ (DFE 2018)

Operation Encompass

Operation Encompass is a project which is coordinated by Greater Manchester Police and works in partnership with schools. The project aims to support and safeguard children and young people who have been affected by, experienced or witnessed incidents involving domestic abuse.

Operation Encompass ensures that staff are aware of any incidents that have occurred and are prepared in advance of children arriving in school so that the appropriate support can be put in place.
