Safeguarding

Safeguarding information at Barming Pre-School and Primary School:

 

All the Governors and staff at Barming Pre-School and Primary School share an objective to help keep the children safe by contributing to:

 

  • Providing a safe environment for them to learn.
  • Identifying children who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm and taking appropriate action, with the aim of making sure that they are kept safe both at home and in the education setting.

 

To achieve this objective, we:

 

  • Aim to prevent unsuitable people from working with the children.
  • Promote safe practice and challenge any poor or unsafe practice.
  • Identify instances where there are grounds for concern about a child’s welfare and initiate or take appropriate action to keep them safe.
  • Contribute to effective partnership working between all those involved in providing services for our children.

 

The Designated Safeguarding Lead is Miss Rootes (Deputy Headteacher).

 

Our Core safeguarding group is made up of Miss Rootes (Deputy Headteacher), Mr Laker (Headteacher) and Mrs Darby (Family Support Worker).

 

Deputy Leads are - Mr Laker (Headteacher), Mrs Darby (FSW), Mrs Rathbone (Key Stage 2 Leader), Mrs Murray (Key Stage 1 Leader), Miss Cook (EYFS Leader), Mrs Stere (Inclusion Manager) and Mrs Perry (Pre-School Manager).
