Weelsby Academy Children’s Safeguarding Policy

KEEPING OUR CHILDREN SAFE AND HAPPY

What is Safeguarding?
KEEPING YOU SAFE AND PROTECTING YOU FROM HARM
All of the adults at Weelsby Academy know that your health, safety and welfare are very important.
We want to make sure you know who to talk to if you have any worries
We will respect and protect your rights
We will do our very best to help you thrive and succeed
We want to make sure you know how to keep yourself and others safe by recognising risks in different situations

How we will protect you?
WE LISTEN TO YOU AND ACT ON YOUR WORRIES
We make our school a safe place to learn
It is important we teach you how and where to get help
We make sure we have trained staff who are here to help you

What should children do?
TALK AND SHARE THEIR WORRIES
If you are worried about anything, either at home or in school you can tell any adult in school. They may or may not need to speak to Miss Smith to get you more help and support.
You can also talk to other trusted adults for example your parents/ carers the police, NSPCC, Social Worker etc

IF YOU ARE WORRIED ALWAYS SPEAK TO SOMEONE YOU
TRUST, WE NEVER WANT YOU TO KEEP THIS TO YOURSELF.
