SAFEGUARDING AT ROBIN HOOD PRIMARY SCHOOL

Robin Hood Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We are fully committed to ensuring that consistent effective safeguarding procedures are in place to support families, children and staff at school. This means that we ensure that everyone working in our school has successfully completed the necessary clearances to enable them to work with children.

All safeguarding concerns are passed to members of staff who are specifically trained as “Designated Safeguarding Lead” (DSL) within the school. The Safeguarding Team in our school are:

• Mrs Harris (Headteacher) - Designated Safeguarding Lead
• Mrs Steel (SENDCO) - Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead
• Mrs Cookson (Assistant SENDCO / HLTA) - Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined as: protecting children from maltreatment; preventing impairment of children’s health or development; ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes. Safeguarding is not just about protecting children from deliberate harm. It relates to aspects of school life.
