Safeguarding

At St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School the safety and well-being of young people in our care will always be our main priority. It is recognised that all staff and adults in school play a key role in safeguarding pupils and in the prevention of harm, early identification, intervention and support for pupils at risk of significant harm. We aim to create an environment where children are safe, valued and know that their concerns will be taken seriously. The vision, aims and ethos of St Mary's all support the intention that children are safe and secure in our care and they also feel this safety and security.

 

We follow policies and procedures outlined by Lancashire Safeguarding Children Board to ensure all children are safeguarded.  We work closely with our multi-agency partners seeking support and guidance as required to ensure the safeguarding of young people is prioritised.   Our staff are professionally inquisitive and vigilant and the school will always adopt this approach.

Our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy is updated annually and all staff receive regular safeguarding training.
