At Harnham Infant School we fully recognise our responsibilities for safeguarding the welfare of children. It is our priority to keep your children safe. We will therefore:

• Make sure our school is a place where children feel safe, are encouraged to talk, and are listened to.

• Make sure children know that there are adults in the school who they can talk to if they are worried.

• Help children to develop the skills they need to recognise and stay safe from abuse (including online abuse).

 

All our staff are trained in safeguarding, are DBS checked and aware of the school and statutory protocols that must be followed. We believe that child protection and safeguarding incidents could happen anywhere including at school and online, and all staff should be alert to possible concerns being raised.​

Harnham Infant School is committed to providing Early Help to children and their families.

 Our priority is to focus on the needs and listen to the views of the child.

“Early help means providing support as soon as a problem emerges at any point in a child’s life. Where a child would benefit from co-ordinated early help” – Keeping Children Safe in Education – September 2024

 

The diagram below details the multiple channels we use to listen, assess, plan, manage and act as necessary to offer Early Help and prevent children in our care coming to harm.
