Safeguarding

Our Commitment

At Girlington Primary School, safeguarding is our highest priority.

Safeguarding means protecting children from harm, ensuring their wellbeing and providing a safe environment for learning.

We are committed to ensuring all children feel safe, secure and supported. We expect all staff, visitors and members of our community to share this commitment.

• Police (emergency): 999

At times, we may need to share information and work with other agencies where there are concerns about a child’s welfare.

We will always aim to discuss concerns with parents/carers first, unless doing so would put the child at risk.
