  • Safeguarding

    All staff working in schools have a duty to provide a safe and secure environment in which children can learn.   At Hillside Infant School we provide this environment by:

    • Ensuring that every child is aware of his/her right to be safe.
    • Ensuring that the staff responsible for safeguarding receive appropriate training and that this training is updated regularly.
    • Ensuring that we follow the statutory guidance in the DfE publication “Keeping Children Safe in Education”.
    • Ensuring that we follow the recommendations in the document entitled “Guidance for Safer Working Practices”.
    • Following Safer Recruitment guidelines when appointing staff.
    • Providing safeguarding training as part of induction for all staff.
    • Ensuring that all relevant checks are carried out on all adults who have contact with children.
    • Providing safeguarding training for all staff every year.
    • Ensuring that all staff have carried out online Prevent training.
