SAFEGUARDING

At Oaksey CE Primary School, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do.  We are committed to creating a safe, nurturing and respectful environment in which every child can learn and thrive.  Our staff are trained to recognise and respond to any concerns and we work closely with parents, carers and external agencies to ensure the wellbeing of every pupil.  

 

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.  At Oaksey we prioritise this through pastoral care, a culture of openness and robust procedures.  We want all of our children to feel confident, safe and supported.  Anyone who works in an unsupervised capacity with children, whether paid or voluntary, will require DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certification.  

 

If you have any concerns about the welfare of a pupil, please contact: safeguarding@oaksey.wilts.sch.uk
