    • Safeguarding

    At St Peter's Church of England Primary School, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children in our care. We expect all staff, volunteers, visitors, governors, parents, carers and children to share this commitment.

    Ensuring children's safety is our key priority and we take your concerns seriously. Should you ever have any concerns about your own or another child's welfare, please contact a member of our safeguarding team. Our trained Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) in school will be able to support with any safeguarding concerns you may have. Safeguarding concerns can also be emailed to safeguarding@st-petersce.bham.sch.uk 

    At St Peter's CE Primary School, we adhere to The Birmingham Safeguarding Children's Board and we have a statutory duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of all our children. Safeguarding is EVERYONE'S responsibility, so we expect all staff, governors, visitors and volunteers to share in this commitment. The health and safety of all our children is paramount.

    If you have any concerns that a child is being harmed, is at risk of harm, or you receive a disclosure, you must inform our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL), or in their absence, the Head Teacher. Do not worry that you may be reporting matters that seem small – we would rather you tell us something that does turn out to be a minor issue than miss a worrying situation.

    In the event of a school closure the DSL's can be contacted on their school emails.

    Any allegation or disclosure involving a member of staff, governor, a volunteer in school, a parent and/or a child's foster carer, must be reported directly to the Headteacher, unless it involves the Headteacher, in which case it should be reported to the Co - Chairs of the Governing Body, Mrs Louise Senior and/or Mr Matt Lorimer, c/o the school office. Our Safeguarding Policy can be found in our policies section.
