At St. Luke's C of E Primary School, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We expect all staff, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment.

Safeguarding Responsibilities and Duties

At St. Luke's C of E Primary School, we adhere to the Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance from the Department of Education. All staff and volunteers have read and understood this guidance.

The ways in which we need to safeguarding and support our children is changing every day and it is vital that Parents and the School work together to do this. While a significant part of our safeguarding responsibility, as a school, is covered in our Child Protection Policy which can be found by following the link below. There are a great many other things to consider with education and information sharing being key to ongoing, effective support and protection.
