Caldecote Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility. Caldecote Primary School is committed to ensuring that all children and young people are safe and feel safe and that children, parents/carers and staff are able to talk about any safeguarding concerns and feel assured that they will be listened to.

All staff and volunteers are aware of and implement safeguarding procedures and guidance, including what to do if they suspect a child or young person may be experiencing, or be at risk of, harm.
