At Burradon Community Primary school we have in place Safeguarding and Child Protection Policies.

We define safeguarding as being broader than ‘child protection’.  Safeguarding in Burradon Community Primary School confirms what we do for all children, applies across the whole school and is linked to our overall culture, ethos and the principles we follow in school.  Safeguarding in our school is child centred and ensures that at all times we work in the best interests of the child to ensure that school is a safe place for all of our children and young people to be.

We define Child Protection as what we do for children at risk of significant harm, or who have been significantly harmed and we have separate clear procedures which are understood by ALL in place for this.

In Burradon Community Primary School we act in the best interest of all children and ensure we take all reasonable steps to prevent them from harm.  Having appropriate safeguards in place not only protects and promotes the welfare of children/young people, but also enhances the confidence of pupils, staff, volunteers and parents/carers.
