Safeguarding, safety and promoting the welfare of children is the highest priority for Beech Green Primary School:
-
Protecting children from maltreatment
-
Preventing the 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
There are a number of legal frameworks and definitions of safeguarding which can be found in the school Child Protection & Safeguarding Policy.
Safeguarding is about more than Child Protection. The latter is specifically about protecting children and young people from suspected abuse and neglect. It includes everything an organisation can do to keep children and young people safe, including minimizing the risk of harm and accidents and taking action to tackle safety concerns.
