Safeguarding

Keeping our Children Safe, Happy and Cared for

At Bearbrook Combined School and Pre-school, all Staff and Governors passionately believe in the importance of keeping all children safe, healthy and happy.

We do this by:

Providing a safe environment for children to learn
Identifying children who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm and taking appropriate action
Working in partnership with parents and families.

We will also:

Listen to our children and take seriously what they tell us
Prevent unsuitable people working with children through rigorous safer recruitment practices
Ensure that every stakeholder and all personnel working in or around the school at any time, are fully conversant with safeguarding procedures
Promote safe practice and challenge poor and unsafe practice
Identify instances in which there are grounds for concern about a child’s welfare, and initiate or take appropriate action to keep them safe
Consult with wider agencies including Early Help initiatives (Family Support Services, CAMHs, Health etc.) or Children's Social Care services. Parental permission will always be sought before contacting agencies unless we have concerns that a child may be at immediate risk of significant harm.
Contribute to effective partnership working between all those involved with providing services for our children.

The Buckinghamshire Safeguarding Team has laid down the procedures, which we follow, and the school adopts a Child Protection Policy in line with this for the safety of all.
