Safeguarding at Horsley C of E Primary School ​

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. 
​
This means that we have Child Protection and Safeguarding Policies and procedures in place which we refer to on our website. All staff (including supply staff, volunteers and governors) must ensure that they are aware of these procedures.

CPOMS helps our school to monitor safeguarding, well-being and all pastoral issues.

Safeguarding is paramount to keeping all children safe at all times. All services and interventions seek to work openly with the family (or young person if age appropriate) in order to support them address their needs at the lowest possible level and prevent them from escalating. We will only request services at a higher level after we have done everything possible to meet needs at the current level.

Children and families may have different levels of need at different times across a range of issues. Having a graduated approach ensures that support will be appropriate, and at the lowest level of intervention.

Children might also have a range of needs at different levels. It is important to take all needs into consideration when determining the type of support that might be required and the professionals who should be involved.
