Safeguarding

The safety of our students is paramount.  At Neroche Primary School we take our duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children extremely seriously.

We follow all statutory guidelines as well as our own policies and procedures.  Our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy can be viewed on our Policies page of the website and we would be happy to provide a paper copy on request.  

Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy

We will always act to protect a child where there is a disclosure or concern about child abuse.  Child abuse can take a range of different forms.  It is any action by another person (adult or child) that causes harm to a child. It can be defined as physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse or neglect.

More information about child protection and safeguarding can be found on the Somerset Safeguarding Childrens Partnership
