Safeguarding
Safeguarding Information
At Childwall Church of England Primary School, the safety and wellbeing of every child are our highest priorities. We are committed to maintaining a strong culture of safeguarding and vigilance, in which every member of staff understands their responsibility and acts promptly when a child may need help or protection.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Our Designated Safeguarding Lead and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads work together to support children, families and staff and to ensure that safeguarding concerns are identified, recorded and responded to appropriately.
All staff receive safeguarding training when they join the school, regular updates throughout the year and appropriate specialist training for their roles. This includes child protection, online safety, Prevent and recognising and responding to different forms of abuse, neglect and exploitation.
Our safeguarding arrangements reflect Keeping Children Safe in Education, relevant Department for Education guidance, Liverpool safeguarding procedures and the expectations of the Ofsted inspection framework. Safeguarding is embedded throughout school life, including our curriculum, staff training, recruitment procedures, attendance work, pastoral support and partnerships with parents, carers and external agencies.
Our Child Protection Policy can be accessed through the Policies page.
If you have any concerns about the safety or wellbeing of a child, please contact a member of our Safeguarding Team immediately. You do not need to be certain that something is wrong—please share your concern so that the appropriate help and support can be considered.
