Safeguarding

Redbrook Hayes Community Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding procedures, including our Safeguarding Policy

At times, we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will ensure that any concerns about our pupils are discussed with his/her parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move may negatively impact upon the child's welfare.

We are an Operation Encompass school.

Training

All of our staff receive Level 1 Safeguarding training which is renewed in line with statutory guidance. All staff have also read and become familiar with the key document Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025. The DSL and DDSLs have up-to-date training that satisfies the requirements for a DSL.
