Safeguarding
At Hartland Primary School we treat the safeguarding of children as a priority.
Everyone at Hartland Primary School is committed to safeguarding and responsible for keeping our children safe.
We do this by:
- providing a safe environment for children to thrive;
- identifying children who are suffering or are likely to suffer significant harm
- taking appropriate action to ensure they are kept safe both at school and at home.
To ensure children are safe we have systems for the purpose:
- preventing unsuitable people working with children
- promoting safe practice and challenge unsafe practice
- effective identification of concerns and initiating or taking appropriate action
- contributing to effective partnerships between all relevant safeguarding services
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead is Helen Bye
Deputy Safeguarding Leads are Michelle Brown, Donna Weeks and Shaun Teuchmann.
Safeguarding Governor is Jacquie Goaman
