Safeguarding

Stogursey CE Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection Policy which can be viewed in the Policies section of our website.

Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with his/her parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare.

We actively support the Government's Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism.

 

We have a QET position statement on the recent OfSTED review of Sexual Harassment, and sexual violence including online sexual abuse.  Our action plan as a school sits within this document.

 

As well as being supported by the Quantock Education Trust through our Strategic Designated Safeguarding Lead, Mr Greg Walters, we also are in partnership locally with the Somerset Safeguarding Children Partnership and their website may be found here.

Our Child Protection & Designated Safeguarding Lead is Miss L Day (Associate Deputy Headteacher). Our Deputy Safeguarding leads are Mr Gary Tucker and Miss Lisa Dunwood.
