St. Katharine’s C.E. Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and physical and mental wellbeing of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

 

We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy which can be viewed here.

​

Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will endeavour to ensure that our concerns about our children are discussed with his/her parents/carers first, unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare, or circumstances exist that do not allow for that consultation and the school has to take independent action in order to ensure a child is safeguarded.

​

We actively support the Government's Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism.
