Safeguarding
At Peases West Primary Academy, we regard the safeguarding of children as our main priority. We believe that we all have the right to be safe and to learn; we all have the responsibility to make this happen.
For our Safeguarding Policy, please see the Policies and Procedures page.
Designated leads for safeguarding:
- Melissa Morton – Headteacher
- Catherine Hall – Acting Deputy Headteacher/SENDCO
All staff follow statutory government guidance contained within the updated Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024 document. Governors have also received a copy of this document.
‘We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff, volunteers and other third parties to share this commitment.’
The safety of our pupils is our number one priority. Any concerns or signs of abuse or neglect must be immediately reported to one of our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL).
Appendix B and C below from our Safeguarding Policy provides further detail of safeguarding services, staff and training:
