Safeguarding Statement

Belgrave St. Peter's CE Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection / Safeguarding Policy.

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 his/her parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare.

We actively support the Government's Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism. 

Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL): Mrs C Ouriach (Headteacher)

Deputy DSL: Mrs K Ng-Bell (Deputy Headteacher)

Deputy DSL: Mrs S Varia (Pastoral Manager)
