Safeguarding Information & Policies

 

Safeguarding

 

The safety of St. Luke's pupils, both in and out of school, is of paramount importance to us.

 

St Luke’s CE School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We are fully committed to ensuring that consistent effective safeguarding procedures are in place to support families, children and staff at school. We believe all staff and visitors have an important and unique role to play in child protection.

 

At St Luke’s we believe:

 

  • Schools can contribute to the prevention of abuse
  • All children have the right to be protected from harm
  • Children need support which matches their individual needs, including those who may have experienced abuse
  • Children need to be safe and feel safe in school

 

Designated Safeguarding Lead at St Luke’s:

The DSL, Mrs Nuala Heslop, is a member of the Senior Leadership Team. The Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSLs) are Mrs Tracey Whealing and Mrs Julie Lomas. The Designated Governor is Mr. Andrew Lane

 

Cause for Concern:

Staff are expected to report any causes for concern to the DSL/DDSLs via an electronic system known as CPOMS.. Concerns may range from children being visibly upset to persistent lateness to children “disclosing” concerns.

When the school has concerns about a child, the lead DSL/DDSL, will act as a source of support, advice and expertise to staff on matters of safety and safeguarding and when deciding whether to make a referral by liaising with relevant agencies. In general, we will discuss concerns with parents/carers before approaching other agencies, and will seek their consent to making a referral to another agency. Appropriate staff will approach parents/carers after consultation with the DSL/DDSL. However, there may be occasions when school will contact another agency before informing parents/carers, if the school decides that contacting them may increase the risk of significant harm to the child.

 

Child Protection information will be dealt with in a confidential manner

FAITH

  • Through our Christian school and ethos, we all aim to believe in ourselves, each other, our teachers, leaders and parents. With reflection and prayer, we trust in God that our prayers will be heard. We know that every child is a child of Jesus, treating everyone with respect and dignity that they deserve.

    Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
    Matthew 7:7

  • FAITH

WISDOM

  • We aim to build our pupils’ and teachers’ confidence, delight in their teaching & learning and discipline in seeking wisdom; gaining the truth, knowledge, understanding and skills they will need in their everyday lives. We offer a broad and inspiring curriculum that nurtures emotional intelligence, creativity and remembering of important knowledge. We teach and learn collaboratively leading to our pupils developing the life skills of learning.

    For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
    Proverbs 2:6

ASPIRATION

  • We aim to be the best we can be. Whilst nurturing our pupils’ and staff, we encourage and drive them to aspire to achieve their hopes and dreams. We are honest in the fact that this will take hard work, perseverance and resilience.

    For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
