Safeguarding
Our core safeguarding principles are:
o Promotion
- making sure pupils, parents, staff and all adults that come into contact with children know the systems and the support in place to keep children safe and there is a culture of vigilance permeating across the school.
o Prevention
- positive, supportive, vigilant, open and safe culture. Well taught curriculum that includes relationships and online safety, pastoral opportunities for children and safer recruitment procedures.
o Protection
- following the agreed procedures, ensuring all staff are trained and supported to recognise and respond appropriately and sensitively to safeguarding concerns.
o Support
- for all learners, parents and staff, and where appropriate specific interventions that are required for those who may be at risk of harm.
o Working with parents and other agencies
- to ensure timely, appropriate communications and actions are undertaken when safeguarding concerns arise.

Safeguarding Out of Hours
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Parents and carers play a role in safeguarding children in their community. If you have any concerns, no matter how small, you should report them to someone who you trust will listen. The school is required to have a designated child protection officer for this purpose. Parents and children should speak to the safeguarding officer if they have any concerns about a child or staff member.
Phone 999 if a crime is being committed or if a child is in immediate danger.
Contact Metropolitan Police on 101 if you think a crime has been committed but there is no one in immediate danger.
If you suspect that a child has suffered or is likely to suffer significant harm, refer this immediately by telephone to out-of-hours urgent child protection or adults at risk. Call the Enfield Emergency Duty Team at 020 8379 1000.
Contact the First Response children’s duty team if you think a child is being:
- Neglected
- Physically abused
- Sexually abused
