Safeguarding
Woolhampton CE Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. It is the responsibility of everyone to ensure that children in our school are kept safe from harm. All members of the school community have to undergo regular safeguarding training.
The Children Act 1989 requires the school to follow the West Berkshire Child Protection Procedure and aim to work together with other agencies that support children and families. We are required to be watchful for signs and symptoms of physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and neglect and we always keep in mind "It Could Happen Here".
Any concerns about safeguarding should be directed to the Designated Safeguarding Lead. Any concerns related to the Headteacher should be directed to the Chair of Governors, Mrs Nikki Jordan (nikki.jordan@woolhamptonschool.org)
