Safeguarding

At Gorse Hill Primary, the safety, health, and well-being of every child is our highest priority. We are committed to creating a caring and supportive environment where children feel safe, valued, and listened to.

Our pupils are encouraged to speak up about any worries or concerns, and they are always made aware of the trusted adults in school they can turn to. Every member of staff, governor, and volunteer shares the responsibility of safeguarding our children and takes this role seriously.

To ensure our school remains a safe place for all, staff receive regular training throughout the year, keeping them up to date with the latest safeguarding practices. They are trained to recognise any signs of physical, emotional, or neglectful harm and know how to respond quickly and appropriately by reporting concerns to the Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs).

Safeguarding at Gorse Hill is more than a policy - it is a whole-school commitment. We work together to protect our pupils and support their well-being, helping them to learn and thrive in a safe, nurturing environment.

At Gorse Hill Primary, our Safeguarding Team is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of every child and family.
