West Witney Primary School and Nursery recognises that it has a duty to ensure arrangements are in place for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and carry out this duty through our teaching and learning, pastoral care and extended school activities. All members of the school community (including volunteers and governors) will at all times establish and maintain a safe and stimulating environment where children feel secure, are encouraged to talk to adults they can trust and are listened to.

The Safeguarding Team are the designated members of staff for Child protection.

DESIGNATED GOVERNOR

Our school has a designated safeguarding governor who will act as the link person between the governing body and the designated officers. The governor will review safeguarding procedures/practices including access to training. The governors will ensure that sufficient time is given to carry out the duties.

PARENTS

This school believes in working closely with parents and in most cases where we have a concern about a pupil, the parents will be informed. The school can signpost and refer to a wide range of support services through the Headteacher and/or Deputy Head.

CHILDREN

Through assemblies, PSHE and Computing lessons, children have a clear understanding of how to keep themselves safe in school and at home, as well as online.

Early Help and Locality Community Support Service (LCSS)

To support families and partner agencies with Early Help, Oxfordshire has a Locality Community Support Service that gives advice and support in relation to the Strengths and Needs Form and Team Around the Family meetings that are vital tools in supporting Early Help in the community.
