Here at Royton Hall, we take your child's safety very seriously.  Part of our duty of care is to support every child in our school, equipping them with the skills they need to stay safe whilst online.  The children are regularly taught about how to stay safe online and what to do should they see anything that makes them feel uncomfortable.

 

We follow the guidance 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' which has recently been updated by the government and applies to all schools from September 2021

 

Part 1 of this guidance must be read by all those who work directly with children.

A copy of part 1 is in our safeguarding section on this website.

Working Together to Stay Safe

 

Here at Royton Hall Primary we recognise that EVERYBODY has a responsibility to safeguard children from significant harm. We regularly train and update our staff on safeguarding procedure and policy.

There are two key documents that inform all safeguarding practice:

1. Working Together to Safeguard Children 2015
2. Children Act 2004

These documents make clear that, “Everybody who works or has contact with children, parents and other adults in contact with children should be able to recognise and know how to act upon evidence that a child’s health or development is or may be being impaired – especially when they are suffering, or likely to suffer, significant harm.’

We work with a range of agencies to include the Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB), the Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH), the National Health Service, the Social Services and the Police.
