--- title: "Safeguarding" url: "https://castleview.school/safeguarding" school: "Castle View Primary Academy" --- # Safeguarding ## Safeguarding Statement Castle View Primary Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This means that we have a Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy in place. Parents and carers are able to view the policy online **[here](https://castleview.school/policies-procedures),** or can request a paper copy from the school office. Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with the child’s parents or carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare. ### Designated Safeguarding Leads ![Mr Huw Rose](https://files.schudio.com/castle-view-primary-academy/imagecache/360x480c/people/005.jpg) #### Mr Huw Rose ##### Headteacher & Designated Safeguarding Lead ![Mrs Helena Robinson](https://files.schudio.com/castle-view-primary-academy/imagecache/360x480c/people/007.jpg) #### Mrs Helena Robinson ##### Deputy Headteacher & Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead ![Miss Stacey Wilkinson](https://files.schudio.com/castle-view-primary-academy/imagecache/360x480c/people/032.jpg) #### Miss Stacey Wilkinson ##### Family Support Worker & Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead If you have a concern about a child’s safety or well being you should report it following this guidance: 'Report It!'

This knowledge, given to schools through Operation Encompass, allows the provision of immediate early intervention through silent or overt support dependent upon the needs and wishes of the child.
