Keeping Children Safe

At Parkview Nursery School we aim to provide a secure, happy and stimulating environment for all, where children not only fulfil their potential but also learn to respect and value both themselves and others. We strive to establish and maintain an ethos where children feel safe,secure and are encouraged to talk and are listened to.

This is achieved by giving the children a voice, respecting them, involving them, responding to them and through teaching them about their rights.

We include planned activities and opportunities for P.S.E. which equip children with the skills they need to stay safe from abuse and prepare them for adult life.

The staff at Parkview recognise that for children, good friendships and lines of communication with a trusted adult help prevention, especially for those at risk of, or suffering from abuse.

Concerns

The staff at Parkview Nursery School are in a good position to keep a watchful eye on children and their safety and to protect them from abuse and neglect. If they have concerns they must inform the designated safeguarding lead for Child Protection, Miss Hughes immediately or, in her absence, Mrs Barrett. If necessary, they will make a referral to Children’s Services to ensure the well-being of a pupil is safeguarded.

All referrals will be made through Cumbria’s Safeguarding Hub. Advice on whether to refer will also be sought.
