Safeguarding and Educational Welfare

Safeguarding

Ensuring that all children are safe at Biggin Hill Primary School is our number one priority every day. Children cannot thrive academically or socially unless they are in an environment where they feel completely safe. As well as ensuring that children stay physically safe it is also vital that they are supported to develop and maintain good mental health and wellbeing. In order to fulfil this responsibility effectively at BHPS, we make sure that our approach to safeguarding is child-centred. This means that we consider, at all times, what is in the best interests of the child.

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined as:

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility.

Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families has a role to play.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We ensure that everyone working in our school has successfully completed the necessary clearances to enable them to work with children. All staff receive high quality safeguarding training annually as well as updates throughout the year.

It is important that children understand how to safeguard themselves. We ensure that children gain the necessary knowledge and understanding about how to protect themselves throughout their time at BHPS. Safeguarding is an integral part of our curriculum and is delivered at an age appropriate level from the moment children start with us until they leave.
