Safeguarding
Shade Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the well being of all of its pupils. Each pupil’s welfare is of paramount importance.
We will always take a considered and sensitive approach in order that we can support all of our pupils. The diagram below indicates what we consider under the umbrella of safeguarding and indicates some of the other policies that relate to safeguarding. The school ensures that all policies are cross-referenced and reviewed annually. All policies are available to staff, and a register is kept and signed by staff as evidence that they have read, understood and thus agreed to adhere to any policies.
Miss McCracken is responsible for reporting to Governors on the effectiveness of our safeguarding and child protection procedures and Governors are responsible for ensuring the school carries out its duties.

Prevent
As part of Shade’s commitment to safeguarding and child protection we fully support the government’s Prevent Strategy, and take guidance from Teaching Approaches to help build resilience to extremism.
What is the Prevent Strategy?
The Prevent strategy is a government strategy designed to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. It:
– responds to the ideological challenge we face from terrorism and aspects of extremism, and the threat we face from those who promote these views
– provides practical help to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure they are given appropriate advice and support
– works with a wide range of sectors (including education, criminal justice, faith, charities, online and health)
Please read prevent-strategy-review which is the official government document.
