At Singleton School we recognise that providing the best possible opportunities for our children to achieve their very best is at the forefront of what we do on a daily basis. However, we also take very seriously our responsibilities in terms of the health and welfare of our children.

Our school fully recognises the contribution it can make to protect children and support pupils in school’.

There are three main elements to our Child Protection Policy’.

            (a)  Prevention: 

Creating a positive school atmosphere, teaching and pastoral support to pupils where children have opportunities to have a voice and that their wishes and feelings are listened to and taken into account.

            (b)  Protection:

By following agreed procedures, ensuring staff are trained to recognise possible signs and symptoms of abuse and are trained and supported to respond appropriately and sensitively to child protection concerns.

            (c)  Support:

To pupils and school staff and to children who may have been abused.
