Every school must have a Child Protection/Safeguarding Policy. The aim of the policy is to ensure our school has effective measures in place to safeguard your children from the potential risk of harm and that the safety and well-being of the children are of the highest priority in all aspects of our school's work. Having a policy on place ensures that all members of your school community:

.................................................................................................

1. Are aware of their responsibilities in relation to safeguarding and child protection.
2. Know the procedures that should be followed if they have a cause for concern. 
3. Know where to go to find additional information regarding safeguarding.
4. Are aware of the key indicators relating to child abuse.
5. Fully support the school's commitment to safeguarding and child protection.

As part of  St Peter's commitment to keeping children safe we have signed up to implement the principles and aims of the Encompass Model.

 In signing up to Encompass the Governing Body and Senior Leadership Team:

•  Endorse the Encompass Model and support the Key Adults in our school to fulfil the requirements of the Rochdale Encompass Protocol
•  Promote and implement Rochdale Encompass processes and use these in accordance with internal safeguarding children processes
•  Recognise the sensitive nature of the information provided and ensure that this is retained in accordance with the principles of data protection 

Each month we will provide parents with a safeguarding newsletter.  The aim of the newsletters is to provide you with  easily digestible pieces of information on safeguarding topics, with the hope that you can spot the signs of any risks and support your child or seek advice and support. Each newsletter will cover 2 safeguarding topics.
