Safeguarding
Safeguarding children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and families has a role to play. Our school is a community and all those directly connected with it - staff members, volunteers, governors, parents, families and pupils; have an essential role to play in making it safe and secure.
The governing body will ensure that Carmountside Primary Academy has arrangements in place to safeguard and promote the welfare of pupils and will work together with other agencies to identify, assess and support those children who are suffering or likely to suffer harm.
This policy applies to all children who are pupils at this school or who visit /come into contact with our school community. It also applies to all members of staff in our school, including all permanent, temporary and support staff, governors, volunteers, contractors and external service or activity providers.
