At Barlows Primary School, the safety and well-being of our students are paramount. We are committed to promoting an environment that is both nurturing and secure, ensuring that every child can thrive.
Our safeguarding page serves as a source of information of some of the measures we have implemented to protect our students from harm.
We believe that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and our dedicated staff are trained to identify and respond to concerns, fostering an atmosphere of vigilance and support. This page outlines our safeguarding policies, procedures, and the various forms of support available to students and their families.
Through our approach, including training programmes and clear reporting channels, we strive to create a safe space where all individuals can learn and grow. We encourage parents, carers, and the wider community to engage with this crucial aspect of our school.
