Synergy Schools Safeguarding Statement
At Synergy Schools the health and safety of all children is of paramount importance. Parents send their children to school each day with the expectation that school provides a secure environment in which their children can flourish. We aim to fulfil this expectation by implementing and regularly reviewing policies relevant to safeguarding and promoting child welfare.
Leeming St. John's CE Primary School is committed to ensuring the welfare and safety of all children, including those with SEND and/or additional vulnerabilities, in school.
All North Yorkshire schools, including Leeming St. John's CE Primary School, follow the North Yorkshire Safeguarding Children Partnership procedures. The school will, in most circumstances, endeavour to discuss all concerns with parents about their child/ren. However, there may be exceptional circumstances when the school will discuss concerns with Social Care and/or the Police without parental knowledge (in accordance with Child Protection procedures). The school will, of course, always aim to maintain a positive relationship with all parents/carers. The school’s child protection policy is available publicly on the school’s website found at aiskewleemingbar.org.
Safeguarding children is everyone's responsibility but this is our dedicated safeguarding team:
| Designated Safeguarding Lead | Mrs B Stanley |
| Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead | Mrs A Watson |
| Mr M White | |
| Miss E Templeman | |
| Safeguarding Governor | Mrs A Whittaker |
Our children are continuously reminded about how to stay safe on the internet and how to seek help and advice if they require it. The following links will help both parents and children with e-safety advice and guidance.
The online world is rapidly developing and many of our children now have access to devices which enable them to connect to the internet, take images or video and communicate with others. While it is important not to obstruct them from developing skills from using these devices, it is essential that parents support their children in navigating the online world.
