Safeguarding

Safeguarding Information

Beer C o f E Primary School is committed to ensuring the welfare and safety of all our children in school. We believe that pupils have a right to learn in a supportive, caring and safe environment which includes the right to protection from all types of abuse. Staff are vigilant for signs of any pupil in distress and are confident about applying our safeguarding processes to avert and alleviate any such problems.

Safeguarding is about ensuring that everyone is safe from harm – safe from bullying, safe from people who could abuse, safe from discrimination or harassment – and that we all feel safe in our environment.

If you are ever concerned about the safety or well-being of someone at our school please talk to one of the school’s Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs).

Our Safeguarding Policy can also be found within the Volunteer New Staff tab. In addition, you will find the latest version of Keeping Children Safe in Education as well as other key documentation like our Whistleblowing Policy.

More information and advice can be found on the Devon Safeguarding Children Board website.

 

Operation Encompass

Beer C of E Primary School is part of Operation Encompass.

Operation Encompass is a police led, school based early intervention safeguarding scheme which supports children and young people who are exposed to Domestic Abuse. Operation Encompass was created to ensure that by 9.00am on the next day the school will be informed that a child or young person has been involved in a domestic abuse incident. This knowledge, given to the school’s trained Key Adult allows the provision of immediate early intervention through overt or silent support, dependant upon the needs and wishes of the child.

For further information, please visit the website.
