Safeguarding

---

At Great Crosby Catholic Primary School we recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all pupils. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued. We are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and follow our procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice. The procedures contained in this policy apply to all staff, volunteers and governors and are consistent with those of Sefton Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB). 

Our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) are Mrs Speed, Miss Bradley and Mrs Crann.

Our governor with responsibility for safeguarding is Mrs A. Davies.

 “Child Sexual Exploitation - raising awareness with parents

Parents Against Child Sexual Exploitation (Pace) and the Virtual College have teamed up to provide a short, free online course entitled ‘Keep Them Safe: Protecting Children from CSE’ designed to equip parents and carers with the knowledge to protect children against sexual exploitation.  Details are available via the following link: https://www.virtual-college.co.uk/resources/free-courses

In order to raise awareness of Child Sexual Exploitation issues with Sefton parents, elected members have written to all schools to promote the Child Sexual Exploitation e-learning tool.
