Safeguarding Statement

The health and safety of all children is of paramount importance at St Peter’s C of E Primary School.

In order to do this, a wide range of measures and policies are put in place. These are reviewed every year and are available:

  • Anti-bullying

  • Administration of medicines

  • Behaviour

  • Child Protection

  • Health and Safety

  • Internet Safety

  • Use of photographs / videos

The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is Mr Paul Bolstridge (Headteacher) and our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads are Mrs Samantha Howard (Deputy Headteacher) and Mrs Lesley Stewart (Business Manager).

Child Protection and Safeguarding

The Safeguarding Policy at St Peter’s C of E Primary School is based on the county recommended policy and is updated annually and verified by the Full Governing Body. The updates reflect the changes to the county policy.

The key features of the Safeguarding policy are to:

  • Provide children with a safe and secure environment
  • Ensure there are trusted adults children feel they can talk to
  • Ensure staff are aware of referral procedures
  • Access and act on advice from Leicestershire Child Safeguarding Board if there is any uncertainty as to the course of action required

All staff receive Safeguarding training in-house and bi-annually from a representative of the Leicestershire Child Safeguarding Board.
