Keeping Children Safe Every child. Every day. Everyone's responsibility. SAFEGUARDING

Safe. Supported. Heard. The safety and wellbeing of our children always comes first. SAFEGUARDING AT ACRE HEADS Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to creating a safe, caring environment where every child feels valued, listened to and confident to speak to a trusted adult. SAFEGUARDING POLICES Mrs Morris — Safeguarding Governor Our Safeguarding Team Mrs Baker — Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead If you are worried about a child, please speak to us. Mrs Perkins — Family Liaison & Child Protection HERE TO HELP Mr Sitch — Designated Safeguarding Lead Our trained safeguarding team works together to identify concerns, support children and families and ensure the right help is provided at the right time. SAFEGUARDING POLICES Notice. Listen. Act. Concerns are always taken seriously. OUR APPROACH We work closely with children, families and other professionals to make sure children receive the support they need. Every member of staff has a responsibility for safeguarding. Our staff are trained to recognise when a child may need help, listen carefully to concerns and take appropriate action. SAFEGUARDING POLICES Learning to Stay Safe We want every child to know how to stay safe — in school, at home and online. SAFEGUARDING THROUGH EDUCATION Children learn about healthy relationships, personal safety, online safety, wellbeing and speaking up when something doesn't feel right. Keeping children safe is about more than responding to concerns. Through our curriculum and wider school experiences, we help children develop the knowledge, confidence and resilience they need to keep themselves and others safe.
