At Purley Primary School, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children in our care. We expect all stakeholders, including visitors, to share this commitment.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.

Visitors and volunteers are made aware of our Safeguarding, Social Media, IT and Whistle Blowing policies and there is more information in our volunteers’ pack for further details. These are available from the school office. All regular visitors must have an enhanced DBS.

We all have a responsibility to keep children safe. The Designated Safeguarding Lead [DSL]has additional responsibilities in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children and young people.

The DSL is the point of contact for anyone who is concerned about a child. The role is also responsible for leading on:

• Safeguarding policies and procedures
• Training and development 
• Receiving concerns about a child
• Reporting, storing and retaining child protection records following the organisation’s policies and procedures.
