Safeguarding All Children

If you think a child is in immediate danger

Don't delay - call the police on 999

or call the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000, straight away.

As a Parent/Carer and /or member of the community you can contact the Children's First Response Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) if you are worried about child abuse or a child's wellbeing.

The Children's First Response MASH is a single point of contact for professionals or the public for advice and support about children at risk.

The contact details are:

01202 123 334
childrensfirstresponse@bcpcouncil.gov.uk

You should contact Children's First Response if you:

are worried about a child or a young person who is at risk of being hurt and abused
know of a child or young person who is vulnerable and needs help
want to know more about our support for children, young people and their families
need support to agree an Early Help offer

If you are not sure if a child is at risk, you can talk to BCP or a professional who works with children, such as a member of the school safeguarding team. All professionals who work with children have a responsibility to make sure they are safe and will know how to help.

The Governing Body and staff of Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School recognise that children have a fundamental right to be protected from harm and that pupils cannot learn effectively unless they feel secure. The Governing Body will, therefore, provide a school environment which promotes self-confidence, a feeling of worth and the knowledge that pupils’ concerns will be listened to and acted upon.

The school uses the Operation Encompass process which ensures all children experiencing domestic abuse receive timely support in their school.

The school also engages in Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference where information is shared on the highest risk domestic abuse cases.

Our Safeguarding Team will listen to any concerns you have about members of our school community in a confidential manner, we also have an anonymous Safeguarding Concerns Box at the Main School Reception if you wish for your details to be unknown.
