Child Protection and Safeguarding

Our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy can be found in Policies tab. 
 
If you ever have a concern about child safety or safety on the school site, please bring it to the immediate attention of a member of staff, so it can be responded to as soon as possible.
 
 
Within school our Designated Safeguarding Lead is:
 
  • Sandra Furno - Headteacher
 
Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is:
 
  • Megan Power  - Deputy Head
 
 
Safeguarding Guide for Children
Through our work across the curriculum and in RHE and PSHE, we regularly teach our children the importance of being safe. Christ Church Warriors will be producing a child friendly version of the safeguarding and children protection policy in the spring term. This will be shared with classes at an age appropriate level. There will be a copy for children to refer to in each class. 
 
 
Safer Recruitment Statement
Christ Church CE Primary is committed to the principles of safer recruitment and, as part of that, adopts recruitment procedures that help deter, reject and/or identify people who might abuse children. Safe recruitment processes are followed and all staff recruited to the school will be subject to appropriate identity, qualification and health checks (see below for further information).
