Safeguarding
Our aim is for everyone within the Ebor Academy Trust to be safe to Work, Learn and Grow together. We believe that there are three key aspects to safeguarding and that there should be clear policies, guidance, lines of accountability and monitoring of each aspect. These form the basis of the Academy policy and the structure of the safeguarding team in each school. The name, role and photograph of each member of staff in the safeguarding team are displayed in each school.
The three aspects are:
-
safe children
-
safe adults
-
safe environment
At Osbaldwick Primary Academy, we are proud to say that the safety of our children is our highest priority and it is placed at the heart of everything we do. We strive to ensure that our school is a safe and secure place for our children to be. Where any of our children are at risk of harm or in any danger, we will immediately work with the relevant agencies to ensure appropriate and safe next steps.
If you are concerned about the safety of a child at Osbaldwick Primary School, please contact our Designated Safeguarding Lead, Mrs Bryan-Smith, or either of our Deputy Safeguarding Leads, Mr Brown or Mrs Ferguson, or our Safeguarding Governor, Mr Quinnell.
