Keeping Safe
SAFEGUARDING
Burley St Matthias C of E Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy which can be viewed on our policies page.
Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies, when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with parents/carers first, unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare.
SAFEGUARDING TEAM
You can speak to any adults at school about anything that is worrying you. However, there are three adults who have the special job of keeping you safe: they are Mrs Hopkinson, Mrs St Rose and Mrs Webb. There are posters all around school to help you remember this.
