Safeguarding Children Policy

We have a commitment at The Dominie to ensure the safety of all children in all situations.

The Dominie fully recognises its responsibilities for safeguarding children and for safer recruitment in education.

Our policy applies to all staff and volunteers working in the school. There are four main elements to our policy:

• Ensuring we practice safe recruitment in checking the suitability of staff and volunteers to work with children.
• Developing and implementing procedures for identifying and reporting cases, or suspected cases of child abuse.
• Supporting pupils who have been abused in accordance with his/her agreed child protection plan.
• Establishing a safe environment in which children can learn and develop.

All members of staff receive Child Protection Training every three years.
