Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is best defined by the government as:

'Protecting children from maltreatment; preventing impairment of children's mental health and physical health or development; ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes'. (Keep Children Safe in Education: Statutory Guidance for Schools and Colleges (DfE 2020). More information from the government can be found at:

Our schools will take any reasonable action to ensure the safety of its pupils. In cases where the school has reason to be concerned that a child may be subject to ill-treatment, neglect or any other forms of abuse, staff will have no alternative but to follow Derby and Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Procedures. Derbyshire Police are also working under a new intitiative with Derbyshire County Council and will notify the school of every incident reported to them of domestic abuse where a child is known to be living in the household. This is to help schools support children and their families and may mean talking to pupils about their experiences, classroom discussion and school activities. This school is committed to protecting children and working with partners to stop domestic abuse.

Bradley Church of England Primary School are committed to stopping Domestic Abuse. If we receive a Domestic Abuse notification from the police we will routinely monitor the child's welfare and engage with partner agencies when required. This forms part of our commitment to safeguarding all the children and young people.

Safeguarding is everyone’s business, and we take the safeguarding of our pupils very seriously.

In school, Nicola Foulds, Head Teacher and Bonnie Cossey, Executive Deputy Headteacher & SENCO - are our Designated Safeguarding Leads.
