Safeguarding

Limpsfield C.E. Infant School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and requires all staff, parents, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment. The safety and well-being of all children is of the highest priority in all aspects of the school’s work. We are fully committed to ensuring that consistent effective safeguarding procedures are in place to support families, children and staff at school. All concerns are passed through trained designated members of staff responsible for safeguarding and child protection.

Our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy is available for parents to view below or via the school office.

Sharing Concerns

Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare. We will share concerns about our pupils with the child’s parents/carers unless we have reason to believe that such a move would not be in the child’s best interest.

Everyone in the community has a responsibility for safeguarding children – not only whilst they are in school.

• If you have any concerns about a child, a family or a member of staff you can contact us at dsl@limpsfield.surrey.sch.ukor speak to one of the DSL team.
• If you have concerns about the actions of behaviour of the Head teacher please contact the Chair of Governors by leaving a letter in the school office.

Alternatively the Surrey Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) can be contacted on 0300 470 9100 or out of hours on 01483 517 898, email cspa@surreycc.gov.uk (for concerns about a child) or ascmash@surreycc.gov.uk (for concerns about an adult).

Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy

Online Safety 

Online Safety is a key part of children’s education in today’s digital world and this is something that is embedded in their learning at school. Children have more access to technology than ever before and with that comes fantastic opportunities for fun, education and socialisation. These opportunities are not without risk however and as a school it is our aim to educate children on how to stay safe in the online world, how to assess risks and how to report inappropriate content on the internet.

Prevent Duty 

We actively support the Government’s Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism.
