Child Protection and Safeguarding

This policy outlines how we create a safe and caring environment, and ensure the wellbeing of our pupils.

At Heaton we respect and value all children and are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all our pupils so they can learn, in a relaxed and secure atmosphere.  We believe every pupil should be able to participate in all school activities in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from harm.  This is the responsibility of every adult employed by, or invited to deliver services at Beckfoot Heaton Primary School.  We recognise our responsibility to safeguard all who access school and promote the welfare of all our pupils by protecting them from physical, sexual and emotional abuse, neglect and bullying.

Our child protection and safeguarding policy ensures these values are recognised and adhered to.
