Safeguarding at Southminster Church of England Primary School
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children both in and out of school.
If anyone, any adult or any child, has any safeguarding concerns, including any related to radicalisation, they are encouraged to contact a member of our safeguarding team as soon as possible.
If you have any safeguarding issue but would prefer not to speak to a member of staff; please contact Julie Taylor (Chair of Governors) admin.southminster@dcvst.org
If we have reasonable cause for concern that a child may be at risk of significant harm, we will refer to social care. This referral can be made with or without us informing parents.
For further information please read our Child Protection Policy.
