Our committment
Askwith Primary School is committed to ensuring the welfare and safety of all children in school. All North Yorkshire schools, including Askwith Primary School, follow the North Yorkshire Safeguarding Children Board 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. Askwith Primary School’s child protection policy is available publicly on the school’s website.
At Askwith Primary School, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and take account of the information contained in the DfE documents 'Working Together to Safeguard Children' and 'Keep Children Safe in Education: Statutory Guidance for Schools and Colleges (DfE 2020)' as the safety and protection of children is of paramount importance to everyone in this school.
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is best defined 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)
We want all our children to achieve their full potential by:
