Child Protection and Safeguarding
Pupils flourish when given responsibility. They grow in confidence as members of the school council and eco-committee and when fulfilling roles such as sports leaders, reading monitors and playground buddies.
Child Protection and Safeguarding
Greswell Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff, governors and volunteers to share this commitment.
Children have a right to be cared for and protected, protecting them is everyone’s responsibility. Here at Greswell Primary School we have a duty of care to ensure that all users of the school are kept safe from harm. We are committed to provide a secure and supportive environment in which children can develop and grow into mature and responsible people. Safeguarding children is an essential part of our approach to ensure that children are protected from abuse and neglect and that every child reaches their full potential.
The best interests of the children will always be our priority. As such, there are times we will need to record, monitor and share information with other agencies. We will share concerns about our pupils with the child’s parents/carers unless we have reason to believe that such a move would not be in the child’s best interest.

Operation Encompass is a partnership between police and schools. The principle of Operation Encompass is that ALL incidents of domestic abuse are shared with schools, not just those where an offence can be identified. This allows the school to support the children. If you have any other questions about this project, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
