Safeguarding & Child Protection

At Bentley Heath CE Primary School, we take the safety and wellbeing of the children in our school very seriously and we expect all staff, volunteers, governors and parents to do the same.

We have a Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy which is available on our Policies page.

Other policies which affect the wellbeing of children are: Attendance; Behaviour; Anti-Bullying; Computing Acceptable Usage, and our Parent and Carers Code of Conduct. We also have guidance on the administration of medicines in school.

We follow the Safer Recruitment Policy and the Department of Education guidance: Keeping Children Safe in Education.

We follow data protection and confidentiality policies.

We have a Health and Safety Policy for the practical protection of children and staff and regular safety walks conducted by the Site Supervisor, Governors and Senior Leadership Team.

All staff receive extensive Child Protection and Safeguarding training. Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance is carried out for all adults working in school.

Should you have any concerns related to safeguarding or child protection, please feel that you can come into school and discuss them with a member of staff.
