Safeguarding statement
Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all our children. We expect all staff, governors, volunteers and visitors to share this same commitment to safeguarding. Each child’s welfare is of paramount importance. We recognise that, safeguarding concerns do not adhere to school/home boundaries and that what happens at home and within the wider school environment including on social media, is as relevant as what happens within the school environment. Behaviour may be challenging and we recognise that, at times, this may impact on other children either directly or indirectly. We will always take a considered and sensitive approach in order that we can support all our children.
We listen to our pupils and take seriously what they tell us. All school staff are trained in safeguarding, and children are made aware that they can talk to adults in school if they have any concerns.
All our policies and procedures follow the guidance contained in the new KCISE (September 2022). We are also aware of other relevant guidance, such as the sexual violence and sexual harassment between children in schools and colleges (September 2021). The procedures which we follow, for the safety of all, have been laid down by the Lincolnshire Safeguarding Team and the school has adopted a Child Protection Policy in line with this. On rare occasions our concerns about a child may mean that we have to consult other agencies. We will ensure that all concerns are discussed with parent/carers first, before any referrals are made, unless we believe that such a move may be contrary to a child’s welfare.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is Mr Graeme Wright (Headteacher). The Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Tracey Howsam (Pines Class Teacher and EYFS Lead). The Designated Person for Looked After and Post Looked After Children is Graeme Wright. The Pupil Premium Champion is Graeme Wright.
The Child Protection Policy is available on the school website. If you are concerned about the safety of a child, you can email the DSL on graeme.wright@sibsey.lincs.sch.uk
