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).

• Teach children the scientific names for body parts e.g. penis, vagina

 

All of our staff are trained in safeguarding, are Enhanced DBS checked and aware of the school and statutory protocols they 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.

If you have concerns that a child may be at risk of serious harm, contact The Integrated Front Door (Children and Families Helpdesk) on 0300 456 0108 (9am-5pm).
