Looking out for each other is key at High Spen Primary. This section of our website holds key information around safeguarding.

All adults in school hold a responsibility to keep children and other adults safe from harm. We have a simple saying in school ‘Don’t go home with a niggle!’ We believe the best way to maintain a safe environment for our children is to share observations / concerns with another member of staff, no matter how small. Concerns are shared in absolute confidence and quickly passed on to one of our four Designated Teachers – Mr Firth, Mrs Nesbitt, Miss Kirkley and Mrs Heron.

Each year we buy in specialist training from Clennell Education Solutions, who deliver elements of our staff and Governor safeguarding training. We work with the Local Authority to absorb and implement any new national guidelines.
