New Era Education

St. Andrew's C.E. Infants' School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and staff. Our Child Protection Policy states that safeguarding is everybody's responsibility. Our pupils welfare is our paramount concern. The governing body will ensure that our school will safeguard and promote the welfare of pupils and work together with other agencies to ensure that our school has adequate arrangements to identify, assess and support those children who are suffering or likely to suffer harm. We have 3 Designated Safeguarding Leads (Mrs. Meakins, Mr. Crossinggum and Mrs. Stephen). Our nominated governor responsible for safeguarding is Mr Chris Lambeth. At times we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with his/her parents/carers unless we have reasons to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare.
