At Ovingham we work to two key phrases around safeguarding:
- Safeguarding is Everybody’s Responsibility
- It can happen here
We have many procedures and rules in place to safeguard our school community which are embedded in our everyday practices and through our policies. Below is our safeguarding policy, which we use to help the children in our school stay safe.
As a school we also have a child friendly version of our policy. This version has been shared with the children in our school and is visible in every classroom, it is placed alongside photographs of our key Designated Safeguarding Leads in school.
Child Friendly Safeguarding Policy
We are always looking for ways to ensure safeguarding is at the forefront of what we do and have a yearly Safeguarding plan in place that is carefully planned from the latest National updates, contextualised local updates and from our staff training needs.
If you have any queries or concerns please get in touch with any of the safeguarding lead team below. The team are made up of the Designated Safeguarding Lead, two Deputy DSLs and our Safeguarding governor.
