"Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being." - Khalil Gibran
Safeguarding at St. Patrick's
At St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School, the safety and wellbeing of every child is our highest priority.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. We are committed to providing a safe, caring and supportive environment where children feel listened to, valued and confident that adults will help them if they are worried about something.
We follow the statutory guidance in Keeping Children Safe in Education and work closely with families and other agencies to protect children from abuse, neglect, exploitation and harm, both offline and online.
We recognise that children do not always tell adults directly when something is wrong. Our staff are trained to notice changes in behaviour, presentation, attendance and wellbeing and to remain professionally curious.
