Part of TEAM Education Trust
At Model Village Primary we take our safeguarding responsibilities very seriously. We are committed to keeping all our children as safe as possible all the time. To ensure this, we:
All staff are expected to share with the DSLs any concerns with regard to staff conduct around children. If there are concerns about the conduct of the Head or DSLs, then these should be shared with the Chair of Governors. The staff ‘Whistleblowing Policy’ has been discussed and adopted, and all staff have access to this document.
We follow the procedures and guidance set out by the Derbyshire Safeguarding Children’s Board (http://www.derbyshirescb.org.uk) and have systems in place to share concerns regarding children’s welfare with our DSLs, with parents and with relevant external agencies. Part of our legal duty to safeguard our children may also include us needing to consult specifically with, and take advice from, the Police or Children's Social Care, should the need arise.
By working closely together as staff members and with our partner agencies, we firmly believe that we will continue to offer a safe learning environment for all our children.
Please take the time to read our policies and do not hesitate to contact the school should you have any questions.
