Safeguarding

At Greatstone Primary School, we are committed to ensuring the welfare and safety of all the children in our school.  We believe that children have the right to learn in an environment that is safe, caring, inclusive and supportive. This includes being protected from all types of abuse, in both the children’s physical and virtual environments. Online Safety is an important aspect of safeguarding our children; you can find more information about this in our Online Safety Policy. 

Adults in our school recognise when children need additional support and are confident in applying our safeguarding procedures. The children are given the opportunity to learn about how to be safe through their curriculum and through daily interactions with adults and children.

The best interests of the children will always be our priority. As such, there are times we will need to record, monitor and share information with other agencies. More information and our policies relating to safeguarding can be found on our policy page.
