Safeguarding at Sarisbury

At Sarisbury Infant School we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all of our children. Safeguarding determines the actions that we take to keep children safe and protect them from harm in all aspects of their school life. We endeavour to prevent harm; to promote wellbeing; to create safe environments; to educate on rights, respect and responsibilities; to respond to specific issues and vulnerabilities all form part of the safeguarding responsibilities of the school. We adhere to the statutory guidance from the Department for Education 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' September 2023.

Our Designated Safeguarding Leads

Our DSL’s meet regularly to discuss individual children.

CPOMS’s

We use CPOM’s as an online tool to record any safeguarding concerns we might have and this is accessed by all of our teachers and LSA’s.

Harri Heart

Harri Heart is an integral member of our school community and we refer to them throughout the school day both inside the classroom, in our outside areas as well as on the playground at lunchtime. Harri Heart is in our planning, particularly when we teach PSHE or Computing and they help to remind us how to keep ourselves safe inside and outside of school. They also help us to remember who our key adults are in school and who the children can speak to if you have a worry or concern to share.

Monthly Newsletters

Every month we send out a safeguarding newsletter which links to an important element in the KCSIE (Keeping Children Safe in Education) and they are shared with all of our staff, including governors. We ensure these are shared in our meetings and we give the staff the chance to discuss the different scenarios to remind ourselves of what we need to be doing in each situation.

All of the relevant policies including Safeguarding, E-safety, and Child Protection are all available on our website. www.sarisburyinfants.co.uk
