Rodborough Community Primary School

Rodborough Community Primary School takes seriously its responsibility to protect and safeguarding the welfare of children and young people in our care.

We recognise that children cannot learn unless they feel happy and secure.  We adhere to stringent Safeguarding procedures to protect the welfare of all the children here.  We are committed to keeping children safe and aim to:

• Create a vulture of vigilance where the welfare of our children is promoted and where timely and appropriate safeguarding action is taken
• Establish and maintain an environment where children feel safe and secure, are encouraged to talk and are listened to
• Ensure that children know that there are adults within the school they can approach if they are worried or are in difficulty
• Ensure children receive the right help at the right time to address risks and prevent issues escalating
• Include in the curriculum activities and opportunities which equip children with the skills they need to stay safe from abuse and to develop health and safe relationships
• Protect children from harm and to ensure that they are taught in a way that is consistent with the law and our values and to promote respect for all others
• Provide a curriculum which actively promotes the fundamental British Values of demoracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
• Make parents aware of the school policies and practices for safeguarding and esure that, whereever possible, every effort will be made to establish open and honest effective working relationships with parents and colleagues from partner agencies.
