Safeguarding Information

Keeping children safe
Stalyhill Junior School fully recognises its responsibilities for Child Protection and Safeguarding.

All staff, including temporary staff and volunteers are subject to stringent background checks including clearance with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) to ensure their suitability for working with children.

 

Whilst the prime focus of Stalyhill Junior School is to secure the best educational provision for the child, the school believes that the safety, welfare and care of children is paramount. We are therefore committed to the highest standards in protecting and safeguarding the children entrusted into our care at all times.


The Child Protection Liaison Person (CPLP) is the Executive Headteacher, Mrs L Lockett.
The CPLP Deputy is the Head of School, Mrs A Stewart-Milne.
The nominated Child Protection Governor is Mrs R Anderson.

 

At Stalyhill Junior School we:

  • Ensure we practice safe recruitment in checking the suitability of staff and volunteers to work with children
  • Ensure all staff and Governors are appropriately trained in issues relating to safeguarding and Child Protection
  • Raise awareness of safeguarding and child protection issues and equip children with the skills needed to keep them safe
  • Develop and implement procedures for identifying and reporting cases, or suspected cases, of harm
  • Support pupils who have been subject to, or are at risk of, significant harm in accordance with their Child Protection Plan
  • Establish a safe environment in which children can learn and develop

Online Safety

Within the Stalyhill Schools' Federation, we use a range of tools and procedures to support children in staying safe online. We use an online filtering system that automatically filters out harmful content and restricts the websites that children can access. 

The Senso system, which also monitors keystrokes and search terms, alerts senior leaders immediately when children or staff type in or search for a flagged term. This enables senior leaders to check with the child and teacher the context of the word and deal with any potential issues as a result. 

Teachers and staff monitor children's IT use closely in lessons and, through our Computing and PSHE curriculums, regularly discuss with children the potential dangers of using the internet and online gaming platforms and how to stay safe online. 

 

There is a wealth of information available to support parents with keeping their children safe online.

Operation Encompass

 

Our school is part of a scheme that runs between Stalybridge schools and Greater Manchester Police. This project is called Operation Encompass.  It aims to support children who are affected by domestic violence by ensuring that their school is informed. This allows the school to then support the children.

If you have any  questions about this project, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
