Safeguarding at NCS

Newbold Church School is committed to the highest standards in protecting and safeguarding the children entrusted to our care.

Our school will support all children by;

• Promoting a caring, safe and positive environment within the school

We recognise that some children may be the victims of neglect, physical, sexual or emotional abuse.  Staff working with children are well placed to identify such abuse.

At Newbold Church School in order to protect our children, we aim to:

• Create an atmosphere where all our children can feel secure, valued and listened to
• Recognise signs and symptoms of abuse
• Respond quickly, appropriately and effectively to cases of suspected abuse.
