At Castle Vale Nursery School we regard the safeguarding of children as our main priority. We believe that we all have the right to be happy, to be safe and to learn. We all have the responsibility to make this happen. We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy which can be viewed on our policies page.
If you are worried about a vulnerable child or adult you can report this by doing the following:
Contact Birmingham Children’s Trust on 0121 303 1888
We use Right Help, Right Time Guidance to assess family needs from Universal Needs – what every child and family should access. To complex/Significant Needs where a family will need the support of statutory social work intervention or highly specialist services to prevent significant harm to or serious risks to a child’s health, or welfare. For more information about Right Help, Right Time go to http://www.lscbbirmingham.org.uk
All our staff and governors know and follow the guidance in this latest document – Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024: Keeping Children Safe in Education September 2024. All staff and governors are trained in Prevent.
