Safeguarding

St Peter’s adopts the definition used in the Children Act 2004 and in ‘Working together to safeguard children’. This can be summarised as:

protecting children from maltreatment
preventing impairment of children’s health or development
ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.

Safeguarding is not just about protecting children from deliberate harm. It relates to aspects of school life including:

pupils’ health and safety
the use of reasonable force
meeting the needs of pupils with medical conditions
providing first aid
educational visits
intimate care
internet or e-safety
appropriate arrangements to ensure school security, taking into account the local context.
