Lubbins Park Primary Academy School is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the safety and welfare of children at all times. We expect all staff, trustees and volunteers to share this commitment, and training, monitoring and reporting procedures are in place to ensure this commitment is realised.

We aim to provide a safe environment that is conducive to learning. We also aim to identify children who are suffering or are likely to suffer significant harm, and take appropriate actions to keep them safe in school and at home when required.

We have safer recruitment procedures in place, as well as a range of policies and procedures to ensure that your child is safe while at school.

We will take all appropriate measures to prevent unsuitable people from working with the children; promoting safe practice (and challenging unsafe practice); identifying instances in which there are grounds for concern about a child's welfare, taking appropriate action to keep them safe; and contributing to effective partnerships between all those involved with providing services for children.

We also ensure that we take all possible safeguarding steps to ensure that all volunteers are suitable as they work in a a position of trust in our school. We request that all prospective volunteers fill in a safeguarding declaration and we will ask for verification from previous schools or places of employment that there are not concerns over a person's suitability to volunteer in our school.
