Safeguarding
Sutton Courtenay CE Primary School are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
We undertake rigorous checks on all staff and volunteers who work in our school and maintain a central record documenting these. Staff involved in recruitment and selection of employees are trained in safer recruitment, and all of our staff undertake in-house Child Protection training.

Our school has designated safeguarding leads who will provide support to our staff members to carry out their safeguarding duties and who will liaise closely with other services such as children’s social care. Any concerns about the safety of a child should be directed to one of our DSLs.
