Safeguarding Policies
Parents and carers expect the school to provide a safe, secure and caring environment in which their children can flourish. To meet this expectation, the school implements a wide range of measures and policies. Details of these policies can be found below and in the Policies section of the website.
Personal Safety - Sussex Police
Sussex Police have also shared with us a short guidance on Personal Safety for children. Please re-enforce the message to your children about not talking to strangers and if approached consider the following actions:
People you do not know (Strangers)
- watch out for cars that are following you
- never get into a car with a person you do not know
- never approach a person you don’t know sitting in a car
- Stay strong, saying no is not wrong
- Never tell a stranger your name or address
- Don’t believe what strangers tell you
- Don’t accept gifts, treats or sweets from strangers
- Keep your distance and never go anywhere with someone you don’t know
- Trust your feelings if it doesn’t feel right it isn’t
Yell and Tell
- Don’t be afraid to say no
- If a stranger makes you feel unsafe, always ‘yell and tell’
- Yell ‘help’ or ‘I don’t know you’ to get someone’s attention. Then tell someone you trust what has happened
- Don’t let anyone make you feel unsafe
- If you have a phone – use it dial 999
Know a Safe place
- A safe place is a place that has someone you can trust and talk to, such as a school, shop, police station or friend’s house.
- If someone does make you feel unsafe, always run to a safe place
