Safeguarding (including E-safety)
Safeguarding
Safeguarding has the highest priority and is everyone’s responsibility. All staff have regular safeguarding training and we have clear policies and procedures that are followed by everyone in school.
See our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy for more details. Child Protection & Safeguarding Policy Jan 2024
Mrs Buisson is the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), Mrs Kipling, Mr Cresswell and Mrs Davy are all trained to be able to deputise in this role.
The school is signed up to Operation Encompass- this means that domestic incidences to which the police are called where a pupil of Sheerhatch is present or affected will be securely reported to the school so that the pupil can be supported if required.
If you have any concerns about the safety of any child, please raise it with the DSL or a deputy.
E-Safety
In the modern world, children seem to access technology with ease. We know that the internet and online resources can provide a wealth of valuable educational material for our pupils. In school, we follow strict policies and use closely monitored filtering systems to ensure that such technology is used safely and appropriately.
