At Crabtree Farm Primary School the staff and governors recognise the contribution the school makes to safeguarding and are fully committed to safeguarding children. It is recognised that the safety and the protection of pupils is of paramount importance and that all staff, including volunteers, have a full and active part to play in providing early help and protecting pupils from harm.  It is believed that the school should provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment, which promotes all pupils social, physical, emotional and moral development.  All staff take all welfare concerns seriously and encourage children to share anything that worries them, always acting in the best interests of the child. In delivering this ambition, the school will adhere to the principles set out in Nottingham’s Family Support Pathway and NCSCP Policy, Procedures and Practice Guidance. 

 

Ultimately, effective safeguarding of children can only be achieved by putting children at the centre of the system, and by every individual and agency playing their full part, working together to meet the needs of our most vulnerable children, in line with Working Together to Safeguard Children and Keeping Children Safe in Education.
