We will provide staff and volunteers with guidance to follow when they suspect a child may be experiencing abuse or are at risk of harm. We will work co-operatively with other agencies to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

Far Forest Lea Memorial CE Primary Academy take safeguarding responsibilities very seriously. We have a Safeguarding Children Policy, which includes Child Protection. We provide staff and volunteers with procedures and guidance to follow when they suspect a child may be experiencing abuse or be at risk of harm. We work cooperatively with other agencies to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

Our school believes that it is always unacceptable for a child to experience abuse of any kind. We recognise our responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children. 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.

We have a statutory responsibility to report concerns of abuse to Children’s Social Care and/or Police without discussing with parents first, where there is an indication that a child is at risk of significant harm.

Parents can be reassured that the safety of the children is our priority by the things we do and not just by what we say. We have detailed and dedicated pages on the different areas of safety; please click the buttons below to learn more about these areas and how to keep your child safe.
