Safeguarding Statement
At St Joseph's Federation, safeguarding is our highest priority and everybody’s responsibility. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the safety and welfare of all our children.
This safeguarding statement applies to all staff, governors, volunteers, and other adults working in, or on behalf of, our school. It is an over-arching document that pulls together all our safeguarding policies and procedures, including our Safeguarding Policy which can be found on the school website.
All school staff undertake annual Safeguarding Child Protection training, and children are made aware of the adults they can talk to if they have any concerns. We know how important it is to listen to our pupils and take seriously what they tell us. Staff are trained to look out for signs of physical/emotional harm or neglect and are required to report these to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL). On rare occasions where our concern about a child means that we have to consult other agencies, we ensure that these concerns are discussed with parent/carers first in line with our Safeguarding Policy.
We are proud to say that all our staff receive regular training to keep up to date with the latest safeguarding procedures. Staff and parents form an essential part of our Safeguarding Team and work together to keep our community safe.
If you have any queries regarding safeguarding, or would like to report a safeguarding concern, please arrange to speak to a member of our Designated Safeguarding Senior Leadership Team by contacting the school office.
