GREAT HARWOOD PRIMARY SCHOOL

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is about ensuring that everyone is safe and feels safe from harm.  Every member of staff is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect everyone who works with our children to share this commitment.

 

We believe that pupils have a right to learn in a supportive, caring and safe environment which includes the right to protection from all types of abuse; where staff are vigilant for signs of any pupil in distress and are confident about applying safeguarding processes to avert and alleviate any such problems.

 

We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy 2023 - 24

  • Designated Safeguarding Leads

    Main areas of responsibility of a DSL:

    • Take lead responsibility for safeguarding and child protection (including online safety and understanding the filtering and monitoring systems you have in place)
    • Support staff members to carry out their safeguarding duties
    • Liaise closely with children’s social care and other services 

    The DSL's main responsibilities are set out on pages 28 and 29 and in Annex C of Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2023.

  • E Safety

    E-safety means being safe on the internet and may also refer to the action of protecting individuals from harmful content online, such as adult content, grooming and cyberbullying2. 

    E-safety teaches children about the safe and responsible use of technology, including the use of the internet and other means of communication using electronic media.
