Safeguarding

Staff and Governors at St Edmund’s Catholic Primary School take all aspects of safeguarding seriously. We acknowledge that safeguarding incidents could happen anywhere and staff should be alert to all possible concerns.

We recognise that it is everyone’s responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued. The best interests of the child are considered at all times.

Through our curriculum we teach children to stay safe and happy. We encourage the understanding that any problem or worry that they may have is legitimate, and to share their worries, big or small with their trusted adult; at home or at school. Child line (NSPCC) and CEOP are highlighted as sources of help and support for the children.
