Quote from Keeping Children safe in Education 2022

"Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families has a role to play. In order to fulfil this responsibility effectively, all practitioners 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.

No single practitioner can have a full picture of a child’s needs and circumstances. If children and families are to receive the right help at the right time, everyone who comes into contact with them has a role to play in identifying concerns, sharing information and taking prompt action."

Safeguarding the children at Reedley Hallows Nursery School is of upmost priority to staff and governors. If you have any safeguarding or welfare concerns relating to a child please speak to one of our safeguarding leads listed below. Some of the things we do to ensure that children, staff and visitors are safe in our school are:

• All staff, governors and volunteers have enhanced DBS checks
• Staff receive training throughout the year: face to face training, online training and the seven minute briefings
• Members of the Governing Board  undertake training to support them in their role
• Staff teach children about how to keep safe, both in general and online

The Designated Senior Lead for Child Protection and Safeguarding is  Mrs Gordon, Headteacher.

Mrs Gordon undertakes specialist training as the Designated Senior Lead.
