Beaufront First School Safeguarding Statement

At Beaufront First School we are strongly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children in our care. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Any candidate applying for a post at Beaufront First School will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure.

We warmly welcome parent (and other) volunteers into our school. Before commencing any type of activity within our school, volunteers will be interviewed by the head teacher to assess the type of contact they will be having with our children. Volunteers will then be asked to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure where necessary.

The Designated Person for Child Protection at Beaufront First School is Mrs. Eileen Daniel, Headteacher.

If you see or hear anything that concerns you during your visit today please speak to Mrs. Daniel. If Mrs. Daniel is not available, please ask to speak to Mr. Ben Hulbert or any member of staff. You may wish to fill in one of our ‘Beaufront First School Safeguarding Concern’ forms.
