Safeguarding at Awsworth Primary and Nursery
As a school we take all our safeguarding responsibilities extremely seriously. We recognise that young people can be vulnerable in a number of ways and that the dangers in the online world are as much a threat as those in the real world. We have ensured that our staff understand what makes some children and adults more vulnerable to certain risk factors, how to recognise the signs of somebody at risk, and what to do if they have a cause for concern.
We want to work with the whole school community to ensure all our stakeholders understand our wider safeguarding responsibilities and work in partnership with us to keep our pupils safe.
If you have a concern or a member of staff has a concern it can be reported confidentially to any of our designated safeguarding team.
The School Policy for Safeguarding is updated in line with Local Authority Guidance and Regulations on an annual basis and approved by the School Trust & Governing Body.
- All staff receive regular training around safeguarding from the local authority.
- Designated people receive updates to training every 2 years.
- An Annual Safeguarding Audit is carried out by the Governors.

Should a child disclose anything that causes you to have a concern about their welfare, please report it immediately to the teacher or designated person. Do not engage the child in discussion on this issue yourself.
