Safeguarding

Safeguarding and prevent duty

We are committed to keeping every child safe and for this reason, we ensure that any adult working in school undertake rigorous criminal checks. We insist that any visitor to school who will be working in areas where children have access has clearance and photographic evidence of who they are. We pride ourselves in giving children “A Voice” and for this reason we investigate any allegation a child makes. All staff have had Child Protection training.

Here at Corngreaves, we take safeguarding very seriously. It is everybody's responsibility.

Parent Information: Safeguarding at Our School

At Corngreaves Academy, the safety and well-being of our students are of the utmost importance. As part of our commitment to safeguarding our primary-aged children, we have introduced the Safeguarding Padlet — a digital platform designed to provide parents and guardians with up-to-date information, resources, and support to help keep children safe both online and offline.

🌐 We recognise that creating a secure environment is a shared responsibility, and that informed and engaged parents play a vital role in achieving this goal. The Safeguarding Padlet is regularly updated with valuable content, including tips on internet safety, advice on how to talk to children about the challenges they may encounter, and guidance on protecting them from harm. It serves as a central hub for all safeguarding information relevant to our school community.

This initiative forms part of our proactive approach to maintaining a safe, nurturing environment where every child can thrive without concern for their safety.

We strongly encourage all parents and guardians to visit the Safeguarding Padlet regularly to stay informed about best practices in child safety. Your engagement is crucial to ensuring our community remains a safe and supportive place for all children. 📱

If you have any questions or would like to contribute to the Padlet, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our Safeguarding Team. Together, we can continue to make Corngreaves Academy a place where every child feels safe, valued, and empowered to succeed.

** The Safeguarding Padlet will now replace the Safeguarding and Attendance Newsletters. We encourage all parents and guardians to check the Padlet regularly for any important updates and new information. **
