E-Safety
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is always a priority at Burrington C of E Primary School.
Staff and Governors are trained in many different aspects of safeguarding including Basic awareness training, specialist training for Safeguarding Leads, Child Sexual Exploitation, Prevent (Anti radicalisation), Domestic Violence and other areas such as bereavement, to name but a few. Safeguarding training updates take place at least annually. Policies and procedures are continually updated to reflect new guidance and best practice. All staff are aware of their important role and responsibilities in keeping children safe. Work directly with children of all ages such as special assemblies, visits from charities (such as Childline/NSPCC), Life skills workshops and curriculum activities enhance children's understanding of this.
The Designated safeguarding Lead is Sarah Joskey (Headteacher)
Deputy Designated Safeguarding lead is LJ Annandale (Deputy)
Other members of the safeguarding team are: Tracey Jones (SENCO), Mel Hodgkinson, and Maylina Allen (Learning Mentor)
The Safeguarding Governor is James Pretty
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. If you have concerns about the welfare of a child, please speak to any of us.
E-Safety
One aspect of safeguarding is E-Safety.
Each year group has their own E-Safety scheme of work which they follow as part of the computing curriculum. Esafety is taught each term (6).Other opportunities to address E-Safety issues are seized such as our whole school Internet Safety Day, Collective Worship and Circle Time sessions. We are also highly responsive to any esafety issues that might arise and use this as an opportunity to support our pupils with their online safety knowledge and understanding.
Regular updates are provided for parents in order to raise awareness of changing E-safety issues. The school often provides E-Safety information in the Newsletter giving advice and guidance. E-safety workshops run by the staff/police or other organisations (such as Papaya) are organised for parents, other members of the community and our older students.
For further advice and guidance, follow this link to the Think U Know website.
Volunteers
All volunteers to school having unsupervised access to children are subject to a DBS check and are expected to read the Safeguarding policy and the Guidance for Safer Working Practices booklet (see below).
