Safeguarding Children
In our safeguarding efforts we may, on occasion, have to consult external agencies without having discussed with parents first. The school's first concern is the welfare of our children and we have a duty to protect them at all times. We take this duty very seriously. Consultations can result in a formal referral being made which might, if deemed necessary by the external agencies, trigger a visit from one of the agencies involved.
We fully understand that this can be a distressing set of circumstances but we can assure you that we fully follow the procedures set down by the Coventry Safeguarding Children's Board's policy, a copy of which is available in school should you need it.
The safeguarding polices we have in school, which are also available as paper copies upon request are as follows:
- Child Protection and Safeguarding
- Anti-bullying Policy
- Behaviour Policy
- Governor's Safeguarding Statement
