Safeguarding - Charnwood Primary Academy

Safeguarding and the welfare of our children is paramount here at Charnwood.

We have a duty to protect all of the pupils at Charnwood. This means listening to their views and their experiences. It involves communication with you and depends on honesty and sometimes uncomfortable conversations. Everything we do is with the child in mind and we encourage you to support us with this. Please find key information on this page about how you can help to keep all of the children in our community safe from harm.

At Charnwood Primary Academy we keep children safe and protect them.

All children should feel safe and happy and our staff are trained to protect you from risk or harm in and outside of school or online. We provide a safe place where we look after you, Our school wants to nurture your curiosity and inspire your love of learning forever.

We teach you how to keep yourself and others safe and how to recognise risks.

Our school rules teach us to behave in a kind and safe way with respect at all times. You are taught to listen to others and to make every effort to learn and progress towards your goals.

We know that sometimes adults or other children might hurt you. We want to make sure you know how to get help if you need to.

At Charnwood Primary Academy these staff are trained Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLS). This means they know how to get you the help you need to help keep you safe, happy and well.
