Commitment to safeguarding
We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued. School will be alert to signs of abuse/neglect and will follow Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Safeguarding Children Partnership Board’s procedures to ensure children receive appropriate effective support and protection. Schools will contact Children’s Social Care when they have reasonable cause to suspect a child may be suffering/likely to suffer significant harm. Staff in school with responsibility for child protection (Designated Safeguarding Lead or Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead) carry out their responsibilities in accordance with the law and are acting in the best interests of all children.
