Safeguarding

Safeguarding children is central to our school policies and practice

At Boundary Primary School, safeguarding our children is central to our school policies and practice and we take this role very seriously. We work closely with the Blackpool Safeguarding Children’s Board to ensure that all our staff have up-to-date safeguarding training, including Safer Recruitment. We have a clear procedure within school for reporting any concerns about pupils, which are followed up in a timely manner and are fully explained in our safeguarding policy. All of our actions and information is concerned on a system called my concern. Occasionally, we will need to seek advice from the Duty social worker or safeguarding advice line.

By working closely together within school and in partnership with local services we confidently believe that we will continue to offer a safe environment for all our children to achieve the best education.

All our staff are legally obliged to follow up any concerns they may have around safeguarding and child protection.

 Our main nominated Safeguarding / Child Protection staff are:

Designated Safeguarding Lead      Mrs N Bunday

Designated Safeguarding Officer   Mrs L Anderson

 Safeguarding Officer                      Miss Savage

 Additional Designated Safeguarding Leads are Miss Ashton and Miss Moyes

Boundary Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff, volunteers and external agencies to comply with our policies.  All staff and volunteers must undertake an enhanced DBS check.

Staff are provided with ID which should be worn at all times. Staff and Visitors must sign in using the Inventory system on arrival and remember to sign out when leaving the building. This is for purposes of security and fire safety procedures. All visitors to the school are given a ‘Visitor’ lanyard to wear. Any person not wearing a lanyard should be politely challenged.
