The protection and welfare of children is of paramount importance in our school. As part of the recently updated Child Protection Procedures for Schools in 2025 every pupil has been made familiar with the Student Friendly Child Safeguarding Statement which is available to view at every entrance in our school and the staffroom.
- It informs them of how through teaching the Stay Safe Programme in our school it enables them to feel safe in school and in their lives outside of school too.
- It also mentions our Child Safeguarding Statement. It is described as a compiled list of all the ways that helps ensure that children are kept safe. A list that is checked annually.
They know that if someone says or does something to hurt them or makes them feel uncomfortable, a child can tell an adult they trust. For example, a teacher, SNA, secretary or the Principal.
Mr. Kennelly is the person who is in charge of child safeguarding. He is our Designated Liaison Person or DLP.
Please explore the language used in this child friendly format.
All staff members will be attending in-service in relation to this area on November 27th.
