Safeguarding at Winshill Village Primary and Nursery School
Winshill Village Primary and Nursery School is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all pupils and expect all staff, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment. All children have a right to be protected from abuse and neglect and have their welfare safeguarded.
Our school works with the procedures set out by the Staffordshire Safeguarding Children’s Board, Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) and Keeping Children Safe in Education (2023). We do this by:
Ensuring that Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility.
Ensuring children in our school can share their concerns and ensure that they have a ‘voice’.
Ensuring our staff are trained, regularly and rigorously.
Ensuring children in our school are educated through a broad and balanced curriculum offering advice and guidance which allows them to make decision to help keep themselves safe.
Ensuring we work collaborative, knowing that no one agency can have the full picture, sharing information in a timely and accurate way and also ensuring that when required, we are not afraid to challenge professionals to ensure the best outcomes for children and young people.
All safeguarding concerns should be reported immediately.
During school hours and term time you can contact the Safeguarding Team by calling the main school number 01283 247570.
