Staff members working with children are advised to maintain an attitude of ‘it could happen here’ where safeguarding is concerned. When concerned about the welfare of a child, staff members should always act in the best interests of the child. We record all matters on our Child Protection records – (CPOMS)
In relation to children and young people, safeguarding and promoting their welfare is defined in ‘Working together to safeguard children’ as:
Protecting children from maltreatment
preventing impairment of children’s health or development
ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.
Whistleblowing
In addition, we are part of the Corpus Christi Catholic Academy Trust. Therefore, in the event that members of the Trust, school staff, parents, governors or the schools’ community at large become aware of activities which give cause for concern, the Trust has established this whistleblowing policy and procedure. This is available on the website.
In brief, if you have a concern regarding a member of staff, please bring this to the attention to the Safeguarding Leads.
If your concern is about any of the Safeguarding Leads, please bring this to the attention of the Headteacher.
If you concern relates to the Headteacher, please bring this to the Trust:
