Disclosure by a child

• Make accurate notes of what has been said by the student and pass this immediately to the designated safeguarding lead.

It is not your responsibility to investigate but to report to the designated safeguarding lead.

Safeguarding Children

 As a visitor to our school, either as a contractor, volunteer, supply teacher or someone that has come to work with our children in any capacity, it is important that you are aware of our safeguarding procedures.

• Please refer to the back page of this leaflet for contact details of our child protection team. Alternatively, please contact reception who can locate them for you.
• If there is any reason to suspect that a student has suffered from bullying or discrimination, or is likely to suffer significant harm, you must inform the designated safeguarding lead immediately. Our staff will follow the procedures according to the school’s safeguarding  policy.

Keeping Everyone Safe 

We hope that you have an enjoyable visit to Newnham Primary School. Our main priority is to ensure that everyone who visits is aware of their responsibilities towards making sure all young people are safe. As a visitor   remember the following:

• If you are working in a 1:1 situation with a student, we must have    confirmation that all the necessary safeguarding checks have been carried out including an enhanced DBS check.
• You must not have any physical contact with any student.
• You must never exchange contact details with a student or arrange to meet them outside of the school environment.
• The use of cameras and taking photographs is not permitted unless prior permission has been sought.
