Safeguarding for Children

Leamington Community Primary School is committed to safeguarding children and promoting children’s welfare and expects all staff, governors, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment and maintain a vigilant and safe environment. Everyone has a responsibility to act without delay to protect children by reporting anything that might suggest a child is being abused or neglected. It is our willingness to work safely and challenge inappropriate behaviours that underpin this commitment. The school seeks to work in partnership with families and other agencies to improve the outcomes for children who are vulnerable or in need. We believe that all children have the right to feel safe and protected from harm in an environment, which values and respects each child as an individual.

Leamington Community Primary School – Safeguarding Children 

We all know how important it is to keep ourselves and others safe.

Here are a few reminders about how we help you to learn how to stay safe.

Remember – if something is worrying you, speak out and tell somebody.  You can talk always talk about your worries to any of the trusted adults in school.

Look at  some of the things we do to help you understand how to keep you safe.

Reporting a threat:

There are 2 types of threat:

1. Hypothetical.

This could be expressing disagreement by making non-serious threats which are highly unlikely to be carried out. These would not normally go against community standards on social networking sites unless there are other factors to be considered.

2. Credible.

When a threat poses real life danger, putting someone at immediate risk of harm e.g. a threat to life. These types of threats should always be reported as an emergency to the police. Other threats of this kind could be “outing” someone’s behaviour to blackmail them. They may be used to coerce someone into doing something they don’t want to e.g. sending an intimate image or another behaviour they may later regret.
