SAFEGUARDING OUR CHILDREN

Our Safeguarding and related policies are available on the website. A paper copy can be provided if required.

Red Rose School fully recognises its responsibilities for child protection. This policy complies with ‘Working together to safeguard children: A guide to inter-agency working to safeguard and promote the welfare of children: ’ and ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education: Statutory guidance for schools and colleges; Sept. 2022’.

Our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL) are: Mrs G Makinson and Mrs C Watts

AIMS

✓ To practice safe recruitment in checking the suitability of staff and volunteers to work with children ✓ To raise awareness of child protection issues and equip children with the skills needed to keep them safe ✓ To establish a safe environment in which children can learn and develop ✓ To develop and implement procedures for identifying and reporting cases, or suspected cases, of abuse ✓ To support children who have been abused in accordance with his/her agreed child protection plan

The school will create a positive ethos amongst the staff so that we can:

✓ Establish and maintain an environment where children feel secure, are encouraged to talk and are listened to ✓ Ensure children know that there are adults in the school whom they can approach if they are worried ✓ Include opportunities in the PSHE curriculum for children to develop the skills they need to recognise and stay safe from abuse.
